Surface-Based Manipulation with Modular Foldable Robots
Ziqiao Wang, Serhat Demirtas, Fabio Zuliani +1
Intelligence lies not only in the brain (decision-making processes) but in the body (physical morphology). The morphology of robots can significantly influence how they interact wi…
Flexible and Foldable: Workspace Analysis and Object Manipulation Using a Soft, Interconnected, Origami-Inspired Actuator Array
Bailey Dacre, Rodrigo Moreno, Serhat Demirtas +5
Object manipulation is a fundamental challenge in robotics, where systems must balance trade-offs among manipulation capabilities, system complexity, and throughput. Distributed ma…
Vibration of Soft, Twisted Beams for Under-Actuated Quadrupedal Locomotion
Yuhao Jiang, Fuchen Chen, Jamie Paik +1
Under-actuated compliant robotic systems offer a promising approach to mitigating actuation and control challenges by harnessing pre-designed, embodied dynamic behaviors. This pape…
CPG-Based Manipulation with Multi-Module Origami Robot Surface
Yuhao Jiang, Serge El Asmar, Ziqiao Wang +2
Robotic manipulators often face challenges in handling objects of different sizes and materials, limiting their effectiveness in practical applications. This issue is particularly…
