Grasp Synthesis Matching From Rigid To Soft Robot Grippers Using Conditional Flow Matching
Tanisha Parulekar, Ge Shi, Josh Pinskier +2
A representation gap exists between grasp synthesis for rigid and soft grippers. Anygrasp [1] and many other grasp synthesis methods are designed for rigid parallel grippers, and a…
ReefFlex: A Generative Design Framework for Soft Robotic Grasping of Organic and Fragile objects
Josh Pinskier, Sarah Baldwin, Stephen Rodan +1
Climate change, invasive species and human activities are currently damaging the world's coral reefs at unprecedented rates, threatening their vast biodiversity and fisheries, and…
Soft Pneumatic Grippers: Topology optimization, 3D-printing and Experimental validation
Prabhat Kumar, Chandra Prakash, Josh Pinskier +2
Typically, heuristic/trial-based approaches are used to design soft pneumatic grippers (SPGs). This paper presents a systematic topology optimization framework for developing SPGs.…
Diversity-based Design Assist for Large Legged Robots
David Howard, Thomas Lowe, Wade Geles
We combine MAP-Elites and highly parallelisable simulation to explore the design space of a class of large legged robots, which stand at around 2m tall and whose design and constru…
A Staged Approach to Evolving Real-world UAV Controllers
Gerard David Howard, Alberto Elfes
A testbed has recently been introduced that evolves controllers for arbitrary hover-capable UAVs, with evaluations occurring directly on the robot. To prepare the testbed for real-…
On Self-Adaptive Mutation Restarts for Evolutionary Robotics with Real Rotorcraft
Gerard David Howard
Self-adaptive parameters are increasingly used in the field of Evolutionary Robotics, as they allow key evolutionary rates to vary autonomously in a context-sensitive manner throug…
