Diverse and Adaptable Arm Coordination for Octopus-Crawling via Diffusion-Based Uncertainty-Aware Optimization
Seung Hyun Kim, Heng-Sheng Chang, Kimia Kazemi +2
Octopus crawling motivates soft robots that exploit redundancy, yet discovering and organizing diverse coordination modes for adaptation remains challenging. To address this, we in…
Digital twins for the design, interactive control, and deployment of modular, fiber-reinforced soft continuum arms
Seung Hyun Kim, Jiamiao Guo, Arman Tekinalp +9
Soft continuum arms (SCAs) promise versatile manipulation through mechanical compliance, for assistive devices, agriculture, search applications, or surgery. However, the strong no…
A Neural Network-based Framework for Fast and Smooth Posture Reconstruction of a Soft Continuum Arm
Tixian Wang, Heng-Sheng Chang, Seung Hyun Kim +9
A neural network-based framework is developed and experimentally demonstrated for the problem of estimating the shape of a soft continuum arm (SCA) from noisy measurements of the p…
Hierarchical control and learning of a foraging CyberOctopus
Chia-Hsien Shih, Noel Naughton, Udit Halder +5
Inspired by the unique neurophysiology of the octopus, we propose a hierarchical framework that simplifies the coordination of multiple soft arms by decomposing control into high-l…
A physics-informed, vision-based method to reconstruct all deformation modes in slender bodies
Seung Hyun Kim, Heng-Sheng Chang, Chia-Hsien Shih +5
This paper is concerned with the problem of estimating (interpolating and smoothing) the shape (pose and the six modes of deformation) of a slender flexible body from multiple came…
Controlling a CyberOctopus Soft Arm with Muscle-like Actuation
Heng-Sheng Chang, Udit Halder, Ekaterina Gribkova +4
This paper presents an application of the energy shaping methodology to control a flexible, elastic Cosserat rod model of a single octopus arm. The novel contributions of this work…
