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

Wireless Hybrid-Actuated Soft Miniature Robot for Biomedical Applications
ActuatorsWireless soft miniature robots have been studied for biomedical applications. However, the wireless soft miniature robots developed so far are mainly composed of synthetic polymers that do not guarantee biocompatibility and biodegradability. Additionally,

Recognising the Clothing Categories from Free-Configuration Using Gaussian-Process-Based Interactive Perception [PDF]
, 2016 In this paper, we propose a Gaussian Process- based interactive perception approach for recognising highly- wrinkled clothes. We have integrated this recognition method within a clothes sorting pipeline for the pre-washing stage of an autonomous ...

Nature, 2021 Inspired by living organisms, soft robots are developed from intrinsically compliant materials, enabling continuous motions that mimic animal and vegetal movement1. In soft robots, the canonical hinges and bolts are replaced by elastomers assembled into actuators programmed to change shape following the application of stimuli, for example pneumatic ...

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.
