Low-Cost Wireless Modular Soft Tensegrity Robots

2019 2nd IEEE International Conference on Soft Robotics (RoboSoft), 2019
Completely soft robots are emerging as a compelling new platform for exploring and operating in unstructured, rugged, and dynamic environments. Unfortunately, the very properties which make soft robots so appealing also make them difficult to accurately model, scalably design, and robustly control.

A Modular Soft Magnetic Sensor with 3D Tactile Force Feedback for Adaptive Robot Grasping

2025 IEEE 21st International Conference on Automation Science and Engineering (CASE)
Human hands are capable of very dexterous manipulation by relying solely on multimodal, directional feedback through physical touch. This level of tactile perception is difficult to reliably translate into sensors for robotic applications unless they are

Cooperation in Evolved Modular Soft Robots

Self-assembly is the ability of natural beings to aggregate in a suitable structure in order to tackle complex tasks that could not be solved by single individuals. Robotics tries to replicate this ability to solve complex problems using artificial embodied physical agents.

Lost-Core Injection Molding of Fluidic Elastomer Actuators for the Fabrication of a Modular Eel-Inspired Soft Robot

International Conference on Soft Robotics
Biologically inspired soft anguilliform swimming robots show great promise in underwater exploration. Their soft bodies promise to reduce the chance of harming humans or wildlife with which they come into contact, and also to reduce their chance of ...

Gait and locomotion analysis of a soft-hybrid multi-legged modular miniature robot

Bioinspiration & Biomimetics, 2021
The locomotion performance of the current legged miniature robots remains inferior compared to even the most simple insects. The inferiority has led researchers to utilize biological principles and control in their designs, often resulting in improved ...

Embodied multi-modal sensing with a soft modular arm powered by physical reservoir computing

IEEE/RJS International Conference on Intelligent RObots and Systems
Soft robots have become increasingly popular for complex manipulation tasks requiring gentle and safe contact. However, their softness makes accurate control challenging, and high-fidelity sensing is a prerequisite to adequate control performance.

A Versatile Neural Network Configuration Space Planning and Control Strategy for Modular Soft Robot Arms

IEEE Transactions on robotics
Modular soft robot arms (MSRAs) are composed of multiple modules connected in a sequence, and they can bend at different angles in various directions. This capability allows MSRAs to perform more intricate tasks than single-module robots.
