Solar‐Driven Soft Robots [PDF]

open access: yesAdvanced Science, 2021
AbstractStimuli‐responsive materials have been lately employed in soft robotics enabling new classes of robots that can emulate biological systems. The untethered operation of soft materials with high power light, magnetic field, and electric field has been previously demonstrated.

Touchless interactive teaching of soft robots through flexible bimodal sensory interfaces

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
Soft robots are challenging to model and program. Non-specialists face non-negligible obstacles when working with soft robots to perform tasks. Here, the authors propose a method to interactively teach soft robots complex motions through flexible ...

Leveraging Elastic instabilities for Amplified Performance: spine-inspired high-speed and high-force soft robots

open access: yes, 2020
Soft machines typically exhibit slow locomotion speed and low manipulation strength because of intrinsic limitations of soft materials. Here, we present a generic design principle that harnesses mechanical instability for a variety of spine-inspired fast
