Stabilizing Low-Stiffness Soft Robots at Unstable Equilibria: A Model-Based Optimal Control Approach
Nikhil Nair, Daniele Caradonna, Anup Teejo Mathew +3
Continuum soft robots are highly nonlinear and underactuated systems, which makes stabilizing them around unstable equilibrium points difficult. This challenge becomes even greater…
SoRoMoX: Fast, Differentiable, and Parallelizable Soft Robot Models
Maximilian Stölzle, Solange Gribonval, Daniel Feliu-Talegon +9
Reduced-order models based on Cosserat-rod theory are now well established, and modeling theory is no longer the primary bottleneck in soft-robot control. Their implementations, ho…
A virtual-variable-length method for robust inverse kinematics of multi-segment continuum robots
Weiting Feng, Federico Renda, Yunjie Yang +1
This paper proposes a new, robust method to solve the inverse kinematics (IK) of multi-segment continuum manipulators. Conventional Jacobian-based solvers, especially when initiali…
Coordinated Manipulation of Hybrid Deformable-Rigid Objects in Constrained Environments
Anees Peringal, Anup Teejo Mathew, Panagiotis liatsis +1
Coordinated robotic manipulation of deformable linear objects (DLOs), such as ropes and cables, has been widely studied; however, handling hybrid assemblies composed of both deform…
Collision Detection with Analytical Derivatives of Contact Kinematics
Anup Teejo Mathew, Anees Peringal, Daniele Caradonna +2
Differentiable contact kinematics are essential for gradient-based methods in robotics, yet the mapping from robot state to contact distance, location, and normal becomes non-smoot…
Soft Swing-up: Benchmarking Model-Based Optimal Control for Rigid-Soft Underactuated Systems
Daniele Caradonna, Nikhil Nair, Anup Teejo Mathew +5
Continuum soft robots are inherently underactuated and subject to intrinsic input constraints, making dynamic control particularly challenging, especially in hybrid rigid-soft robo…
Learning User Interaction Forces using Vision for a Soft Finger Exosuit
Mohamed Irfan Refai, Abdulaziz Y. Alkayas, Anup Teejo Mathew +2
Wearable assistive devices are increasingly becoming softer. Modelling their interface with human tissue is necessary to capture transmission of dynamic assistance. However, their…
A Survey on Soft Robot Adaptability: Implementations, Applications, and Prospects
Zixi Chen, Di Wu, Qinghua Guan +8
Soft robots, compared to rigid robots, possess inherent advantages, including higher degrees of freedom, compliance, and enhanced safety, which have contributed to their increasing…
Dynamic Manipulation of Deformable Objects in 3D: Simulation, Benchmark and Learning Strategy
Guanzhou Lan, Yuqi Yang, Anup Teejo Mathew +5
Goal-conditioned dynamic manipulation is inherently challenging due to complex system dynamics and stringent task constraints, particularly in deformable object scenarios character…
