Printed helicoids with embedded air channels make sensorized segments for soft continuum robots
Annan Zhang, Hanna Matusik, Miguel Flores-Acton +3
Soft robots enable safe, adaptive interaction with complex environments but remain difficult to sense and control due to their highly deformable structures. Architected soft materi…
Autonomous Sea Turtle Robot for Marine Fieldwork
Zach J. Patterson, Emily Sologuren, Levi Cai +4
Autonomous robots can transform how we observe marine ecosystems, but close-range operation in reefs and other cluttered habitats remains difficult. Vehicles must maneuver safely n…
Design of Trimmed Helicoid Soft-Rigid Hybrid Robots
Zach J. Patterson, Emily R. Sologuren, Daniela Rus
As soft robot design matures, researchers have converged to sophisticated design paradigms to enable the development of more suitable platforms. Two such paradigms are soft-rigid h…
Design and Control of Modular Soft-Rigid Hybrid Manipulators with Self-Contact
Zach J. Patterson, Emily Sologuren, Cosimo Della Santina +1
Soft robotics focuses on designing robots with highly deformable materials, allowing them to adapt and operate safely and reliably in unstructured and variable environments. While…
Safe Control for Soft-Rigid Robots with Self-Contact using Control Barrier Functions
Zach J. Patterson, Wei Xiao, Emily Sologuren +1
Incorporating both flexible and rigid components in robot designs offers a unique solution to the limitations of traditional rigid robotics by enabling both compliance and strength…
