Distributed Sensor Networks Deployed Using Soft Growing Robots
Alexander M. Gruebele, Andrew C. Zerbe, Margaret M. Coad +2
Due to their ability to move without sliding relative to their environment, soft growing robots are attractive for deploying distributed sensor networks in confined spaces. Sensing…
A Dynamics Simulator for Soft Growing Robots
Rianna Jitosho, Nathaniel Agharese, Allison Okamura +1
Simulating soft robots in cluttered environments remains an open problem due to the challenge of capturing complex dynamics and interactions with the environment. Furthermore, fast…
Toward Force Estimation in Robot-Assisted Surgery using Deep Learning with Vision and Robot State
Zonghe Chua, Anthony M. Jarc, Allison M. Okamura
Knowledge of interaction forces during teleoperated robot-assisted surgery could be used to enable force feedback to human operators and evaluate tissue handling skill. However, di…
Isometric force pillow: using air pressure to quantify involuntary finger flexion in the presence of hypertonia
Caitlyn E. Seim, Chuzhang Han, Alexis J. Lowber +6
Survivors of central nervous system injury commonly present with spastic hypertonia. The affected muscles are hyperexcitable and can display involuntary static muscle tone and an e…
Geometric Solutions for General Actuator Routing on Inflated-Beam Soft Growing Robots
Laura H Blumenschein, Margaret Koehler, Nathan S. Usevitch +3
Continuum and soft robots can leverage complex actuator shapes to take on useful shapes while actuating only a few of their many degrees of freedom. Continuum robots that also grow…
Evaluation of Non-Collocated Force Feedback Driven by Signal-Independent Noise
Zonghe Chua, Allison M. Okamura, Darrel R. Deo
Individuals living with paralysis or amputation can operate robotic prostheses using input signals based on their intent or attempt to move. Because sensory function is lost or dim…
