Mechanical Modeling and Optimal Model-based Design of a Soft Pneumatic Actuator
International Conference on Soft Robotics, 2023 Soft pneumatic actuators are widely used for soft grippers, which are known for their compliance as compared with traditional grippers. The generated force/torque of soft pneumatic actuators directly determines the grasping force. This paper introduces a

Closed-Loop Haptic Feedback Control Using a Self-Sensing Soft Pneumatic Actuator Skin
Soft Robotics, 2020 In this article, we achieve a closed-loop control over haptic feedback, first time for an entirely soft platform. We prototyped a novel self-sensing soft pneumatic actuator (SPA) with soft strain sensors, called SPA-skin, which withstands large ...

An Experimental Investigation of Discretized Homogeneous Differentiators: Pneumatic Actuator Case
IEEE Journal of Emerging and Selected Topics in Industrial Electronics, 2021 It is well known that the homogeneous differentiator strategies reduce the chattering in the implementation of sliding-mode algorithms and the recent implicit framework based projector provides very interesting properties when associated with homogeneous
