Safe Autonomous Environmental Contact for Soft Robots using Control Barrier Functions
Akua K. Dickson, Juan C. Pacheco Garcia, Meredith L. Anderson +6
Robots built from soft materials will inherently apply lower environmental forces than their rigid counterparts, and therefore may be more suitable in sensitive settings with unint…
Real-Time Trajectory Generation for Soft Robot Manipulators Using Differential Flatness
Akua Dickson, Juan C. Pacheco Garcia, Ran Jing +2
Soft robots have the potential to interact with sensitive environments and perform complex tasks effectively. However, motion plans and trajectories for soft manipulators are chall…
Self-Sensing for Proprioception and Contact Detection in Soft Robots Using Shape Memory Alloy Artificial Muscles
Ran Jing, Meredith L. Anderson, Juan C. Pacheco Garcia +1
Estimating a soft robot's pose and applied forces, also called proprioception, is crucial for safe interaction of the robot with its environment. However, most solutions for soft r…
Maximizing Consistent Force Output for Shape Memory Alloy Artificial Muscles in Soft Robots
Meredith L. Anderson, Ran Jing, Juan C. Pacheco Garcia +4
Soft robots have immense potential given their inherent safety and adaptability, but challenges in soft actuator forces and design constraints have limited scaling up soft robots t…
