Haptic Perception via the Dynamics of a Flexible Body Inspired by an Ostrich's Neck

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Inspired by avian anatomy, this study uses a flexible robotic neck to investigate haptic perception driven by musculoskeletal dynamics. By applying physical reservoir computing, the robot encodes external force interactions into its body dynamics, allowing effective object classification.

A Standardized Framework for Elastomer Characterization in Soft Robotics

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A unified framework addresses inconsistent elastomer property reporting which limits reproducibility and standardization in soft robotics. Systematic testing of ten elastomers (thermosetting, thermoplastic, and a covalent adaptable network) provides quasielastic mechanical properties, viscoelastic parameters, thermal stability, and processing ...
