Design and dynamic analysis of soft pneumatic systems for wearable robots
There are many challenges in the development of pneumatically powered soft robots due to the non-linearities of the materials used, non-linear pneumatic flow, complex non-standard designs, and high compliance that leads to loading-specific mechanical behav ...
EPFL2021Wireless soft microscale actuators and robotic devices to study mechanobiology
Raquel Filipa Penacho Parreira
Tissues morphogenesis and homeostasis involve the spatiotemporal regulation of mechanics at multiple scales. Characterization of mechanical properties of biological systems as well as investigating the effects of mechanical forces on biological function ar ...
EPFL2021Learning (Good Handwriting In Greek) By Teaching (A Humanoid Robot)
Thibault Lucien Christian Asselborn, Wafa Monia Benkaouar Johal, Thanasis Hadzilacos
We report on a follow-up study of the Co-Writer project at EPFL [1]; we confirm their findings, extend the applicability to another language with a different alphabet (Greek) and go into an in-depth qualitative study of the child-robot relationship. The co ...
IATED-INT ASSOC TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION & DEVELOPMENT2020A Dexterous Soft Robotic Hand for Delicate In-Hand Manipulation
In this letter, we show that soft robotic hands provide a robust means of performing basic primitives of in-hand manipulation in the presence of uncertainty. We first discuss the design of a prototype hand with dexterous soft fingers capable of moving obje ...
IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC2020Human-Human, Human-Robot and Robot-Robot Interaction While Walking: Data Analysis, Modelling and Control
In everyday life humans perform many tasks with other partners which involve coordination, involuntary communication and mutual control adaptation, as the case of carrying objects together with another person. Humanoid robots may help with such activities ...
EPFL2019Robot swarms as an educational tool: The Thymio’s way
Robotics provides useful tools for educational purposes, allowing to engage students in learning within disparate domains, from computer science and artificial intelligence – traditionally the main domains for educational robotics – to general education, h ...
2019Modular soft pneumatic actuator system design for compliance matching
The future of robotics is personal. Never before has technology been as pervasive as it is today, with advanced mobile electronics hardware and multi-level network connectivity pushing âsmartâ devices deeper into our daily lives through home automation ...
EPFL2019Object Grasping of Humanoid Robot Based on YOLO
This paper presents a system that aims to achieve autonomous grasping for micro-controller based humanoid robots such as the Inmoov robot [1]. The system consists of a visual sensor, a central controller and a manipulator. We modify the open sourced object ...
SPRINGER INTERNATIONAL PUBLISHING AG2019Model-free soft-structure reconstruction for proprioception using tactile arrays
Continuum body structures provide unique opportunities for soft robotics, with the infinite degrees of freedom enabling unconstrained and highly adaptive exploration and manipulation. However, the infinite degrees of freedom of continuum bodies makes sensi ...
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.2019User-driven walking assistance: first experimental results using the MyoSuit*
Wearable robots for the legs have been developed for gait rehabilitation training and as assistive devices. Most devices have been rigid exoskeletons designed to substitute the function of users who are completely paralyzed. While effective for this target ...
