Everything-Grasping (EG) Gripper: A Universal Gripper with Synergistic Suction-Grasping Capabilities for Cross-Scale and Cross-State Manipulation
Jianshu Zhou, Jing Shu, Tianle Pan +7
Grasping objects across vastly different sizes and physical states-including both solids and liquids-with a single robotic gripper remains a fundamental challenge in soft robotics.…
Programmable Locking Cells (PLC) for Modular Robots with High Stiffness Tunability and Morphological Adaptability
Jianshu Zhou, Wei Chen, Junda Huang +3
Robotic systems operating in unstructured environments require the ability to switch between compliant and rigid states to perform diverse tasks such as adaptive grasping, high-for…
Few-shot Sim2Real Based on High Fidelity Rendering with Force Feedback Teleoperation
Yanwen Zou, Junda Huang, Boyuan Liang +5
Teleoperation offers a promising approach to robotic data collection and human-robot interaction. However, existing teleoperation methods for data collection are still limited by e…
Unified Manipulability and Compliance Analysis of Modular Soft-Rigid Hybrid Fingers
Jianshu Zhou, Boyuan Liang, Junda Huang +1
This paper presents a unified framework to analyze the manipulability and compliance of modular soft-rigid hybrid robotic fingers. The approach applies to both hydraulic and pneuma…
Fish Mouth Inspired Origami Gripper for Robust Multi-Type Underwater Grasping
Honghao Guo, Junda Huang, Ian Zhang +4
Robotic grasping and manipulation in underwater environments present unique challenges for robotic hands traditionally used on land. These challenges stem from dynamic water condit…
Prismatic-Bending Transformable (PBT) Joint for a Modular, Foldable Manipulator with Enhanced Reachability and Dexterity
Jianshu Zhou, Junda Huang, Boyuan Liang +3
Robotic manipulators, traditionally designed with classical joint-link articulated structures, excel in industrial applications but face challenges in human-centered and general-pu…
