Shared Autonomy via Hindsight Optimization [PDF]
, 2015 In shared autonomy, user input and robot autonomy are combined to control a robot to achieve a goal. Often, the robot does not know a priori which goal the user wants to achieve, and must both predict the user's intended goal, and assist in achieving ...

ACS Nano, 2023 Soft robotics is an exciting field of science and technology that enables robots to manipulate objects with human-like dexterity. Soft robots can handle delicate objects with care, access remote areas, and offer realistic feedback on their handling performance. However, increased dexterity and mechanical compliance of soft robots come with the need for

Soft climbing robot with magnetic feet for multimodal locomotion
Scientific Reports, 2023 Inspection robots that can be used to inspect man-made structures have significant potential for industrial applications, but existing soft robots are not well suited for the exploration of complex metallic structures with many obstacles.

Multiform Adaptive Robot Skill Learning from Humans
, 2017 Object manipulation is a basic element in everyday human lives. Robotic manipulation has progressed from maneuvering single-rigid-body objects with firm grasping to maneuvering soft objects and handling contact-rich actions.

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 2018 AbstractThis description of “soft robotics” is not intended to be a conventional review, in the sense of a comprehensive technical summary of a developing field. Rather, its objective is to describe soft robotics as anewfield—one that offers opportunities to chemists and materials scientists who like to make “things” and to work with macroscopic ...

Universal Soft Robotic Microgripper [PDF]
Small, 2018 AbstractHere, a soft robotic microgripper is presented that consists of a smart actuated microgel connected to a spatially photopatterned multifunctional base. When pressed onto a target object, the microgel component conforms to its shape, thus providing a simple and adaptive solution for versatile micromanipulation. Without the need for active visual

Robot Composite Learning and the Nunchaku Flipping Challenge
, 2017 Advanced motor skills are essential for robots to physically coexist with humans. Much research on robot dynamics and control has achieved success on hyper robot motor capabilities, but mostly through heavily case-specific engineering.
