A Tip Mount for Transporting Sensors and Tools using Soft Growing Robots
Sang-Goo Jeong, Margaret M. Coad, Laura H. Blumenschein +5
Pneumatically operated soft growing robots that extend via tip eversion are well-suited for navigation in confined spaces. Adding the ability to interact with the environment using…
Haptic Sketches on the Arm for Manipulation in Virtual Reality
Mine Sarac, Allison M. Okamura, Massimiliano Di Luca
We propose a haptic system that applies forces or skin deformation to the user's arm, rather than at the fingertips, for believable interaction with virtual objects as an alternati…
Perceived Intensities of Normal and Shear Skin Stimuli using a Wearable Haptic Bracelet
Mine Sarac, Tae Myung Huh, Hojung Choi +3
Our aim is to provide effective interaction with virtual objects, despite the lack of co-location of virtual and real-world contacts, while taking advantage of relatively large ski…
Human-centered Control of a Growing Soft Robot for Object Manipulation
Fabio Stroppa, Ming Luo, Giada Gerboni +3
We present a user-friendly interface to teleoperate a soft robot manipulator in a complex environment. Key components of the system include a manipulator with a grasping end-effect…
Human Interface for Teleoperated Object Manipulation with a Soft Growing Robot
Fabio Stroppa, Ming Luo, Kyle Yoshida +3
Soft growing robots are proposed for use in applications such as complex manipulation tasks or navigation in disaster scenarios. Safe interaction and ease of production promote the…
Retraction of Soft Growing Robots without Buckling
Margaret M. Coad, Rachel P. Thomasson, Laura H. Blumenschein +3
Tip-extending soft robots that "grow" via pneumatic eversion of their body material have demonstrated applications in exploration of cluttered environments. During growth, the moti…
