Plant-inspired behavior-based controller to enable reaching in redundant continuum robot arms
Enrico Donato, Yasmin Tauqeer Ansari, Cecilia Laschi +1
Enabling reaching capabilities in highly redundant continuum robot arms is an active area of research. Existing solutions comprise of task-space controllers, whose proper functioni…
Sustainably Grown: The Underdog Robots of the Future
Stoyan K. Smoukov
It is hard to imagine with the progress in robotics that current approaches are lacking somewhere, yet they will not be applicable to the majority of robots in the near future. We…
Towards in-silico robotic post-stroke rehabilitation for mice
Lorenzo Vannucci, Maria Pasquini, Cristina Spalletti +4
The possibility of simulating in detail in-vivo experiments could be highly beneficial to the neuroscientific community. It could easily allow for preliminary testing of different…
The iCub multisensor datasets for robot and computer vision applications
Murat Kirtay, Ugo Albanese, Lorenzo Vannucci +3
This document presents novel datasets, constructed by employing the iCub robot equipped with an additional depth sensor and color camera. We used the robot to acquire color and dep…
A bistable soft gripper with mechanically embedded sensing and actuation for fast closed-loop grasping
Thomas George Thuruthel, Syed Haider Abidi, Matteo Cianchetti +2
Soft robotic grippers are shown to be high effective for grasping unstructured objects with simple sensing and control strategies. However, they are still limited by their speed, s…
Evolving soft locomotion in aquatic and terrestrial environments: effects of material properties and environmental transitions
Francesco Corucci, Nick Cheney, Francesco Giorgio-Serchi +2
Designing soft robots poses considerable challenges: automated design approaches may be particularly appealing in this field, as they promise to optimize complex multi-material mac…
