Sampling-Based Model Predictive Control for Dexterous Manipulation on a Biomimetic Tendon-Driven Hand
Adrian Hess, Alexander M. Kübler, Benedek Forrai +2
Biomimetic and compliant robotic hands offer the potential for human-like dexterity, but controlling them is challenging due to high dimensionality, complex contact interactions, a…
Replicating Human Anatomy with Vision Controlled Jetting -- A Pneumatic Musculoskeletal Hand and Forearm
Thomas Buchner, Stefan Weirich, Alexander M. Kübler +2
The functional replication and actuation of complex structures inspired by nature is a longstanding goal for humanity. Creating such complex structures combining soft and rigid fea…
A Comparison of Pneumatic Actuators for Soft Growing Vine Robots
Alexander M. Kübler, Cosima du Pasquier, Andrew Low +6
Soft pneumatic actuators are used to steer soft growing "vine" robots while being flexible enough to undergo the tip eversion required for growth. In this study, we compared the pe…
A Multi-Segment, Soft Growing Robot with Selective Steering
Alexander M. Kübler, Sebastián Urdaneta Rivera, Frances B. Raphael +3
Everting, soft growing vine robots benefit from reduced friction with their environment, which allows them to navigate challenging terrain. Vine robots can use air pouches attached…
RoBoa: Construction and Evaluation of a Steerable Vine Robot for Search and Rescue Applications
Pascal Auf der Maur, Betim Djambazi, Yves Haberthür +10
RoBoa is a vine-like search and rescue robot that can explore narrow and cluttered environments such as destroyed buildings. The robot assists rescue teams in finding and communica…
