Proactive Robotic Grasp Stability via Tactile Safety Margin Feedback
We introduce the tactile safety margin (TSM), defined as the ratio between applied friction force (Ffric) and maximum friction (Fmax) derived from grip force. A bilayer E‐skin with decoupled temperature, strain, and pressure sensing enables real‐time grasp stability monitoring through measured TSM values, allowing robots to proactively adjust grip ...

Modeling and Characterization of a Self‐Sensing Soft Hydraulic Muscle
This article presents the self‐sensing soft hydraulic muscle (SSHM), a novel soft actuator capable of simultaneously sensing force and length without external sensors. A comprehensive model accurately predicts SSHM behavior, validated experimentally with minimal errors. Using propylene glycol enhances durability and reduces hysteresis.
