Sensing and Control within a Robotic End Effector

open access: yes, 1997
This research programme investigates aspects of end effector design and control, to carry out grasping operations in a range of unstructured environments. A conceptual three fingered end effector design has been developed.

ChicGrasp: Imitation‐Learning‐Based Customized Dual‐Jaw Gripper Control for Manipulation of Delicate, Irregular Bio‐Products

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Automated poultry processing lines still rely on humans to lift slippery, easily bruised carcasses onto a shackle conveyor. Deformability, anatomical variance, and hygiene rules make conventional suction and scripted motions unreliable. We present ChicGrasp, an end‐to‐end hardware‐software co‐designed imitation learning framework, to offer a ...

Compliant Pneumatic Feet with Real‐Time Stiffness Adaptation for Humanoid Locomotion

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A compliant pneumatic foot with real‐time variable stiffness enables humanoid robots to adapt to changing terrains. Using onboard vision and pressure control, the foot modulates stiffness within each gait cycle, reducing impact forces and improving balance. The design, cast in soft silicone with embedded air chambers and Kevlar wrapping, offers durable,

A soft touch: Compliant Tactile Sensors for Sensitive Manipulation

open access: yes, 2006
We present the design, analysis and construction of a biologicallyinspired tactile sensor. The sensor can measure normal and lateralforces, conform to the surfaces with which it comes in contact andincrease the friction of the surface for a good grasp ...

Tactile sensors for heavy load manipulation

open access: yes, 2022
S.1033-1036We report on a new packaging technique for tactile sensors. In contrast to previous work our approach is designed specifically for heavy duty manipulators where large forces and rough environmental conditions prevail.

A dataset for tactile textures on uneven surfaces collected using a BioIn-Tacto sensing moduleMendeley Data

open access: yesData in Brief
Effective human-like manipulation in robots depends on their capacity to recognize and identify textures in different environments. In unpredictable environments, robots with tactile sensors will have to identify textures through touch-related features ...
