Elastomeric Strain Limitation for Design of Soft Pneumatic Actuators
Gregory M. Campbell
Modern robots embody power and precision control. Yet, as robots undertake tasks that apply forces on humans, this power brings risk of injury. Soft robotic actuators use deformati…
Active Learning Design: Modeling Force Output for Axisymmetric Soft Pneumatic Actuators
Gregory M. Campbell, Gentian Muhaxheri, Leonardo Ferreira Guilhoto +4
Soft pneumatic actuators (SPA) made from elastomeric materials can provide large strain and large force. The behavior of locally strain-restricted hyperelastic materials under infl…
Electroadhesive Clutches for Programmable Shape Morphing of Soft Actuators
Gregory M. Campbell, Jessica Yin, Yuyang Song +3
Soft robotic actuators are safe and adaptable devices with inherent compliance, which makes them attractive for manipulating delicate and complex objects. Researchers have integrat…
Multimodal Proximity and Visuotactile Sensing With a Selectively Transmissive Soft Membrane
Jessica Yin, Gregory M. Campbell, James Pikul +1
The most common sensing modalities found in a robot perception system are vision and touch, which together can provide global and highly localized data for manipulation. However, t…
