Fluid-Structure Interaction Modelling of a Soft Pneumatic Actuator
Actuators, 2021 This paper presents a fully coupled fluid-structure interaction (FSI) simulation model of a soft pneumatic actuator (SPA). Previous research on modelling and simulation of SPAs mostly involves finite element modelling (FEM), in which the fluid pressure ...

A Gait Pattern Generator for Closed-Loop Position Control of a Soft Walking Robot
Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 2020 This paper presents an approach to control the position of a gecko-inspired soft robot in Cartesian space. By formulating constraints under the assumption of constant curvature, the joint space of the robot is reduced in its dimension from nine to two ...
