Beyond Soft Hands: Efficient Grasping With Non-Anthropomorphic Soft Grippers

Yufei Hao

Grasping and manipulation are challenging tasks that are nonetheless critical for many robotic systems and applications. A century ago, robots were conceived as humanoid automata. While conceptual at the time, this viewpoint remains influential today. Many ...

Sensing soft robot shape using imus: An experimental investigation

Josephine Anna Eleanor Hughes, Francesco Stella

Shape estimation of soft robotic systems is challenging due to the range of deformations that can be achieved, and the limited availability of physically compatible sensors. We propose a method of reconstruction using Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs), whi ...
