Optimization based soft-sensing framework for modularized robots

2016 IEEE/SICE International Symposium on System Integration (SII), 2016
System state information for feedback control and pose planning in robotic systems often requires multiple torque sensors that can increase the overall system complexity and cost. Using available module internal sensor data and rigid body simulation based observers, we can minimize the number of hardware sensors required to estimate the actual robot ...

Study on motion process of modular soft robot

2016 International Conference on Machine Learning and Cybernetics (ICMLC), 2016
This paper presents a novel modular soft robot, which can finish moving forwards. This intelligent system mainly consists of four deformable rubber cells, two friction feet, the solenoid valves, an air pump and the control systems. The size of each spherical cell and the shape of the soft robot can be changed, according to the appropriate inflating and

A Snail Inspired Modular Soft Robot

We present a modular soft robotic platform inspired by the rhythmic muscular motions, known as "pedal waves," that enables locomotion in snails. These motions are driven by two key muscle groups: the dorsoventral muscles, which facilitate attachment and detachment, and the longitudinal muscles, which enable contraction and relaxation.

Study on nonlinear obstacle avoidance on modular soft robots

Nonlinear Dynamics, 2015
A modular soft robot, which consists of three deformable spherical cells, the electromagnetic valves and the control systems, is constructed. According to the deflating action and the inflating action of the spherical cells, the size and the shape of each spherical cell can be changed.

Design and Modularization of Multi-DoF Soft Robotic Actuators

IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, 2019
Soft robotic technologies offer a promising solution for unconstructed applications due to their complete softness, robustness, and flexibility. In this letter, we explore the design and modularization of the flexible pneumatic robotic actuators for applying in minimally invasive surgery or other constrained spaces.

Interpretable Control of Modular Soft Robots

Modular Soft Robots (MSRs) are ensembles of elastic modules which achieve movement through their synergy of contractions and expansions. The inherent complexity of the dynamics of MSRs poses challenges in hand-crafting effective controllers for task execution.
