Stochastic Entanglement of Deterministic Origami Tentacles For Robust Robotic Grasping
Alec Boron, Bokun Zheng, Ziyang Zhou +2
Origami-inspired robotic grippers have shown promising potential for object manipulation tasks due to their compact volume and mechanical flexibility. However, robust capture of ob…
OpenPRC: A Unified Open-Source Framework for Physics-to-Task Evaluation in Physical Reservoir Computing
Yogesh Phalak, Wen Sin Lor, Apoorva Khairnar +3
Physical Reservoir Computing (PRC) leverages the intrinsic nonlinear dynamics of physical substrates, mechanical, optical, spintronic, and beyond, as fixed computational reservoirs…
Spider web-inspired sensing and computation with fiber network physical reservoirs
Apoorva Khairnar, Yogesh Phalak, Jun Wang +4
Physical reservoir computing leverages the intrinsic dynamics of mechanical systems to perform computation through their natural responses to input signals. Here, we study a compli…
