Topology, dynamics, and control of an octopus-analog muscular hydrostat
Arman Tekinalp, Noel Naughton, Seung-Hyun Kim +5
Muscular hydrostats, such as octopus arms or elephant trunks, lack bones entirely, endowing them with exceptional dexterity and reconfigurability. Key to their unmatched ability to…
Hierarchical control and learning of a foraging CyberOctopus
Chia-Hsien Shih, Noel Naughton, Udit Halder +5
Inspired by the unique neurophysiology of the octopus, we propose a hierarchical framework that simplifies the coordination of multiple soft arms by decomposing control into high-l…
A physics-informed, vision-based method to reconstruct all deformation modes in slender bodies
Seung Hyun Kim, Heng-Sheng Chang, Chia-Hsien Shih +5
This paper is concerned with the problem of estimating (interpolating and smoothing) the shape (pose and the six modes of deformation) of a slender flexible body from multiple came…
Controlling a CyberOctopus Soft Arm with Muscle-like Actuation
Heng-Sheng Chang, Udit Halder, Ekaterina Gribkova +4
This paper presents an application of the energy shaping methodology to control a flexible, elastic Cosserat rod model of a single octopus arm. The novel contributions of this work…
