A Multistage Venturi Amplifier for Rapid Inflation of Soft Robots
This work presents the amplifier inflator for soft robotic systems (AIRS), a compact, lightweight, and effective device for rapidly deploying inflatable structures to high pressure. By integrating a check valve with a Venturi‐based air entrainer, AIRS delivers an initial high‐flow output followed by pressurization, supporting fast inflation and ...

Accelerating Musculoskeletal Robotics Through Parametric Design and 3D‐Printed Flexible Structures
Parametric design and flexible 3D printing create muscle‐, tendon‐, ligament‐, and cushion‐like robotic elements from a single thermoplastic polyurethane material. Tuning lattice patterns adjusts regional mechanical properties and enables coordinated multijoint motions in a life‐sized musculoskeletal leg under external suspension, with partial body ...

Towards Human‐Centered Intelligent Inhabitable Spaces: A Review
This review introduces Robot‐Rooms as a new category of architectural‐scale robots that do not operate within a space but actively form and reconfigure the space around their occupants. Drawing from robotics, HCI, architecture, and the arts, an interdisciplinary framework is proposed that maps the enabling technologies and integration challenges ...

An Integrated Fabric‐Pneumatic Soft Sensing System for Multi‐Site Muscle Activity Decoding
Fabric‐pneumatic chambers convert muscle deformation into pressure signals without electronics at the body‐contact sensing interface. A unified processing pipeline enables static posture classification, continuous elbow‐angle estimation, forearm gesture recognition, and knee‐movement detection across three anatomical sites.

Clarke Transform: A Lingua Franca for Continuum Robotics
Using the Clarke transform, both robot‐dependent mappings are known exactly for kinematic models, leading to a complete chain of transformations between spaces with associated abstraction. This eases the derivation. Therefore, proposing the Clarke transform as a lingua franca and utilizing a practical fact sheet can pave the way for more systematic ...
