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…
Autoencoding a Soft Touch to Learn Grasping from On-land to Underwater
Ning Guo, Xudong Han, Xiaobo Liu +6
Robots play a critical role as the physical agent of human operators in exploring the ocean. However, it remains challenging to grasp objects reliably while fully submerging under…
Theoretical Model Construction of Deformation-Force for Soft Grippers Part I: Co-rotational Modeling and Force Control for Design Optimization
Huixu Dong, Haotian Guo, Sihao Yang +3
Compliant grippers, owing to adaptivity and safety, have attracted considerable attention for unstructured grasping in real applications, such as industrial or logistic scenarios.…
Theoretical Model Construction of Deformation-Force for Soft Grippers Part II: Displacement Control Based Intrinsic Force Sensing
Huixu Dong, Ziyi Zheng, Haotian Guo +4
Force-aware grasping is an essential capability for most robots in practical applications. Especially for compliant grippers, such as Fin-Ray grippers, it still remains challenging…
