Flexible and slim device switching air blowing and suction by a single airflow control
Seita Nojiri, Toshihiro Nishimura, Kenjiro Tadakuma +1
This study proposes a soft robotic device with a slim and flexible body that switches between air blowing and suction with a single airflow control. Suction is achieved by jet flow…
Sensing and Control of Friction Mode for Contact Area Variable Surfaces (Friction-variable Surface Structure)
Seita Nojiri, Akihiko Yamaguchi, Yosuke Suzuki +2
Robotic hands with soft surfaces can perform stable grasping, but the high friction of the soft surfaces makes it difficult to release objects, or to perform operations that requir…
Soft robotic hand with finger-bending/friction-reduction switching mechanism through 1-degree-of-freedom flow control
Toshihiro Nishimura, Kensuke Shimizu, Seita Nojiri +4
This paper proposes a novel pneumatic soft robotic hand that incorporates a mechanism that can switch the airflow path using a single airflow control. The developed hand can contro…
