FDM Printing: a Fabrication Method for Fluidic Soft Circuits?
Savita V. Kendre, Lehong Wang, Ethan Wilke +3
Existing fluidic soft logic gates for the control of soft robots either rely on extensive manual fabrication processes or expensive printing techniques. In our work, we explore Fus…
STREAM: Software Tool for Routing Efficiently Advanced Macrofluidics
Lehong Wang, Savita V. Kendre, Haotian Liu +1
The current fabrication and assembly of fluidic circuits for soft robots relies heavily on manual processes; as the complexity of fluidic circuits increases, manual assembly become…
Vision-based FDM Printing for Fabricating Airtight Soft Actuators
Yijia Wu, Zilin Dai, Haotian Liu +2
Pneumatic soft robots are typically fabricated by molding, a manual fabrication process that requires skilled labor. Additive manufacturing has the potential to break this limitati…
Soft Fluidic Closed-Loop Controller for Untethered Underwater Gliders
Kalina Bonofiglio, Lauryn Whiteside, Maya Angeles +5
Soft underwater robots typically explore bioinspired designs at the expense of power efficiency when compared to traditional underwater robots, which limits their practical use in…
Printable Flexible Robots for Remote Learning
Savita V. Kendre, Gus. T. Teran, Lauryn Whiteside +4
The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed the importance of digital fabrication to enable online learning, which remains a challenge for robotics courses. We introduce a teaching methodol…
Tube-Balloon Logic for the Exploration of Fluidic Control Elements
Jovanna A. Tracz, Lukas Wille, Dylan Pathiraja +11
The control of pneumatically driven soft robots typically requires electronics. Microcontrollers are connected to power electronics that switch valves and pumps on and off. As a re…
The Soft Compiler: A Web-Based Tool for the Design of Modular Pneumatic Circuits for Soft Robots
Lauryn Whiteside, Savita V. Kendre, Tian Y. Fan +9
Developing soft circuits from individual soft logic gates poses a unique challenge: with increasing numbers of logic gates, the design and implementation of circuits leads to ineff…
Air-Releasable Soft Robots for Explosive Ordnance Disposal
Tyler C. Looney, Nathan M. Savard, Gus T. Teran +8
The demining of landmines using drones is challenging; air-releasable payloads are typically non-intelligent (e.g., water balloons or explosives) and deploying them at even low alt…
