Soft Pneumatic Grippers: Topology optimization, 3D-printing and Experimental validation
Prabhat Kumar, Chandra Prakash, Josh Pinskier +2
Typically, heuristic/trial-based approaches are used to design soft pneumatic grippers (SPGs). This paper presents a systematic topology optimization framework for developing SPGs.…
HRI-SA: A Multimodal Dataset for Online Assessment of Human Situational Awareness during Remote Human-Robot Teaming
Hashini Senaratne, Richard Attfield, Samith Widhanapathirana +4
Maintaining situational awareness (SA) is critical in human-robot teams. Yet, under high workload and dynamic conditions, operators often experience SA gaps. Automated detection of…
Grasp Synthesis Matching From Rigid To Soft Robot Grippers Using Conditional Flow Matching
Tanisha Parulekar, Ge Shi, Josh Pinskier +2
A representation gap exists between grasp synthesis for rigid and soft grippers. Anygrasp [1] and many other grasp synthesis methods are designed for rigid parallel grippers, and a…
ReefFlex: A Generative Design Framework for Soft Robotic Grasping of Organic and Fragile objects
Josh Pinskier, Sarah Baldwin, Stephen Rodan +1
Climate change, invasive species and human activities are currently damaging the world's coral reefs at unprecedented rates, threatening their vast biodiversity and fisheries, and…
