Collocated Shape Regulation for Soft Robots
Pietro Pustina, Ebrahim Shahabi, Daniel Feliu-Talegon +2
Controlling the shape of a continuum soft robot typically requires an accurate dynamic model and actuation of all degrees of freedom. We show that regulating only the actuated coor…
Manipulation with Stability Guarantees: Linear Deformable Objects with Non-negligible Physical Response Grasped at Multiple Location
Daniel Feliu-Talegon, Cosimo Della Santina
Most research on the manipulation of deformable objects focuses on lightweight systems with negligible mechanical response, effectively restricting attention to quasi-static regime…
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…
Reconciling distributed compliance with high-performance control in continuum soft robotics
Vito Daniele Perfetta, Daniel Feliu-Talegon, Ebrahim Shahabi +1
High-performance closed-loop control of truly soft continuum manipulators has remained elusive. Experimental demonstrations have largely relied on sufficiently stiff, piecewise arc…
ZodiAq: An Isotropic Flagella-Inspired Soft Underwater Drone for Safe Marine Exploration
Anup Teejo Mathew, Daniel Feliu-Talegon, Yusuf Abdullahi Adamu +5
The inherent challenges of robotic underwater exploration, such as hydrodynamic effects, the complexity of dynamic coupling, and the necessity for sensitive interaction with marine…
Soft Synergies: Model Order Reduction of Hybrid Soft-Rigid Robots via Optimal Strain Parameterization
Abdulaziz Y. Alkayas, Anup Teejo Mathew, Daniel Feliu-Talegon +3
Soft robots offer remarkable adaptability and safety advantages over rigid robots, but modeling their complex, nonlinear dynamics remains challenging. Strain-based models have rece…
Controlling Deformable Objects with Non-negligible Dynamics: a Shape-Regulation Approach to End-Point Positioning
Sebastien Tiburzio, Tomás Coleman, Daniel Feliu-Talegon +1
Model-based manipulation of deformable objects has traditionally dealt with objects while neglecting their dynamics, thus mostly focusing on very lightweight objects at steady stat…
How ornithopters can perch autonomously on a branch
Raphael Zufferey, Jesus Tormo Barbero, Daniel Feliu Talegon +3
Flapping wings are a bio-inspired method to produce lift and thrust in aerial robots, leading to quiet and efficient motion. The advantages of this technology are safety and maneuv…
