House of Dextra: Cross-embodied Co-design for Dexterous Hands
Kehlani Fay, Darin Anthony Djapri, Anya Zorin +6
Dexterous manipulation is limited by both control and design, without consensus as to what makes manipulators best for performing dexterous tasks. This raises a fundamental challen…
Dynamic Shape Control of Soft Robots Enabled by Data-Driven Model Reduction
Iman Adibnazari, Harsh Sharma, Myungsun Park +3
Soft robots have shown immense promise in settings where they can leverage dynamic control of their entire bodies. However, effective dynamic shape control requires a controller th…
Learning to Design Soft Hands using Reward Models
Xueqian Bai, Nicklas Hansen, Adabhav Singh +5
Soft robotic hands promise to provide compliant and safe interaction with objects and environments. However, designing soft hands to be both compliant and functional across diverse…
Co-Design of Soft Gripper with Neural Physics
Sha Yi, Xueqian Bai, Adabhav Singh +3
For robot manipulation, both the controller and end-effector design are crucial. Soft grippers are generalizable by deforming to different geometries, but designing such a gripper…
