Characteristics, Management, and Utilization of Muscles in Musculoskeletal Humanoids: Empirical Study on Kengoro and Musashi

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Musculoskeletal humanoids exhibit rich biomechanical properties that remain insufficiently unified in prior discussions. This article systematically categorizes muscle characteristics into five properties: redundancy, independency, anisotropy, variable moment arm, and nonlinear elasticity, and analyzes their combined effects on control.

A Multimodal Laser‐Induced Graphene‐Based Flexible Sensor for Soft Robotic Hand Environmental Perception

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A multimodal laser‐induced graphene (LIG)‐based flexible sensor is developed to detect proximity and contact signals. Integrated into a soft robotic hand, it enables vision‐free object searching and grasping. Combined with a convolutional neural network, the system achieves accurate material and texture recognition, enhancing the capability of ...

Routing Optimization of Cable‐Driven Octopus‐Inspired Manipulators With Minimal Actuation via Genetic Algorithm and Finite Element Method

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Soft robotic arms are promising for gentle grasping but often rely on bulky actuation systems. This work presents a computational design framework that optimizes tendon number and routing to achieve target grasps with fewer actuators. Validated on an octopus‐inspired underwater arm, the approach enables efficient, underactuated soft manipulators for ...
