Learning-Based Pressure Predictive Control of a Vertebraic Soft Robotic Tail
Wenjian Yang, Nan Huang, Yukang Nie +4
Soft robots have attracted much attention for their safe human-robot interaction and flexibility, but the typical continuum structure and nonlinear material behavior make the kinem…
A Monolithic Force-Proprioception Soft Acutuator Enabled by Single-Material 3D printing
Nan Huang, Lele Liu, Junfeng Lu +3
Pneumatic proprioceptive actuators integrate actuation and sensing for soft robots that attract interest due to functional potential. Existing approaches often suffer from assembly…
A Monolithic Hand with Asymmetric Origami Bending and Dual-chamber Actuators
Nan Huang, Yuming Zhu, Zicong Zhang +5
The passive adaptability inherent in soft robotic hands affords them advantages in applications that require safe and compliant interaction. However, existing soft robotic hands of…
A Biomimetic Vertebraic Soft Robotic Tail for High-Speed, High-Force Dynamic Maneuvering
Sicong Liu, Nan Huang, Jianhui Liu +9
Robotic tails can enhance the stability and maneuverability of mobile robots, but current designs face a trade-off between the power of rigid systems and the safety of soft ones. R…
