Remote control of a soft walking robot

, 2021
S.535-538This paper develops an intuitive user interface in order to operate a gecko-inspired soft robot remotely by using a joystick. The developed method enables the operation of the comparatively fast robot by the untrained human user, which is a ...

Multigait soft robot [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2011
This manuscript describes a unique class of locomotive robot: A soft robot, composed exclusively of soft materials (elastomeric polymers), which is inspired by animals (e.g., squid, starfish, worms) that do not have hard internal skeletons. Soft lithography was used to fabricate a pneumatically actuated robot capable of sophisticated locomotion (e.g ...

Soft Robotics [PDF]

Analecta Technica Szegedinensia, 2022
Widely used robot systems have a rigid base structure that limits the interaction with their environment. Due to the inflexible attachment points, conventional robotic structures can only manipulate objects with their special gripping system. It can be difficult for these systems to grasp objects with different shapes, handle complex surfaces or ...

Safely catching aerial micro-robots in mid-air using an open-source aerial robot with soft gripper

Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 2022
This work focuses on catching safely an aerial micro-robot in mid-air using another aerial robot that is equipped with a universal soft gripper. To avoid aerodynamic disturbances such as downwash, that would push the target robot away, we follow a ...

A soft crawling robot with a modular design based on electrohydraulic actuator

iScience, 2023
Summary: The soft structure of creatures without a rigid internal skeleton can easily adapt to any atypical environment. In the same context, robots with soft structures can change their shape to adapt to complex and varied surroundings.

Soft Robotics for Chemists [PDF]

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 2011
Soft robots: A methodology based on embedded pneumatic networks (PneuNets) is described that enables large-amplitude actuations in soft elastomers by pressurizing embedded channels. Examples include a structure that can change its curvature from convex to concave, and devices that act as compliant grippers for handling fragile objects (e.g., a chicken ...
