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 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.

Modular assembly of soft deployable structures and robots

Materials Horizons, 2017
The first soft deployable robot, called DeployBot, capable of both deploying itself and of movement without additional motors is introduced. This robot can serve as the first step toward a new class of soft robots that is modular, self-deploying, and capable of locomotion “out of the box”.

Mathematical modeling of modular soft robotic arm

Smart Materials and Structures
Abstract As an important supplement to rigid robotic arms, the soft robotic arm demonstrates broader application potential in non-structural environments. This article proposes a modular soft robotic arm with a pneumatic network structure.

Bio‐Inspired Pneumatic Modular Soft Robots

Journal of Field Robotics
ABSTRACT Traditional rigid robots struggle to adapt to complex settings such as post‐disaster rescue and pipeline inspection. To address this limitation, we propose a spiral actuator and a bending actuator based on the extensile McKibben artificial muscles.

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.
