Communicative Efficiency of Single vs. Multi-Axis Robot Neck Motion
Chapa Sirithunge, Haewon Jeong, Qinghua Guan +2
Nonverbal communication through head and neck movement is fundamental to human social signalling, yet how robotic neck morphology translates motion into communicative information r…
Efficient Model-Based Reinforcement Learning for Robot Control via Online Optimization
Fang Nan, Hao Ma, Qinghua Guan +3
We present an online model-based reinforcement learning algorithm suitable for controlling complex robotic systems directly in the real world. Unlike prevailing sim-to-real pipelin…
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…
Control the Soft Robot Arm with its Physical Twin
Qinghua Guan, Hung Hon Cheng, Benhui Dai +1
To exploit the compliant capabilities of soft robot arms we require controller which can exploit their physical capabilities. Teleoperation, leveraging a human in the loop, is a ke…
Dexterous Three-Finger Gripper based on Offset Trimmed Helicoids (OTHs)
Qinghua Guan, Hung Hon Cheng, Josie Hughes
This study presents an innovative offset-trimmed helicoids (OTH) structure, featuring a tunable deformation center that emulates the flexibility of human fingers. This design signi…
Language Conditioned Multi-Finger Dexterous Manipulation Enabled by Physical Compliance and Switching of Controllers
Cheng Pan, Kai Junge, Benhui Dai +2
Human dexterity arises from combining high-level task reasoning with finger-level dexterity control and physical compliance at the muscle and skin layers. In robotics, large Vision…
A Versatile Neural Network Configuration Space Planning and Control Strategy for Modular Soft Robot Arms
Zixi Chen, Qinghua Guan, Josie Hughes +2
Modular soft robot arms (MSRAs) are composed of multiple modules connected in a sequence, and they can bend at different angles in various directions. This capability allows MSRAs…
