Fabrication and Functionality Integration Technologies for Small-Scale Soft Robots.

Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.)
Small-scale soft robots are attracting increasing interest for visible and potential applications owing to their safety and tolerance resulting from their intrinsic soft bodies or compliant structures. However, it is not sufficient that the soft bodi...

Freestanding and Scalable Force-Softness Bimodal Sensor Arrays for Haptic Body-Feature Identification.

Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.)
Tactile technologies that can identify human body features are valuable in clinical diagnosis and human-machine interactions. Previously, cutting-edge tactile platforms have been able to identify structured non-living objects; however, identification...

Experimental Comparison of Biofidel Measuring Devices Used for the Validation of Collaborative Robotics Applications.

International journal of environmental research and public health
Biofidel measuring devices are used to validate safety in collaborative workplaces. In these workplaces, humans work together with robots that are equipped with a Power and Force Limiting function (PFL). In this experimental comparison, differences b...

Active tactile sensing of small insect force by a soft microfinger toward microfinger-insect interactions.

Scientific reports
Human-robot interaction technology has contributed to improving sociality for humanoid robots. At scales far from human scales, a microrobot can interact with an environment in a small world. Microsensors have been applied to measurement of forces by...

A Framework for Inclusion of Unmodelled Contact Tasks Dynamics in Industrial Robotics.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
This paper presents a method to include unmodeled dynamics of load or a robot's end-effector into algorithms for collision detection or general understanding of a robot's operation context. The approach relies on the application of a previously devel...

Wireless Miniature Magnetic Phase-Change Soft Actuators.

Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.)
Wireless miniature soft actuators are promising for various potential high-impact applications in medical, robotic grippers, and artificial muscles. However, these miniature soft actuators are currently constrained by a small output force and low wor...

Finger-inspired rigid-soft hybrid tactile sensor with superior sensitivity at high frequency.

Nature communications
Among kinds of flexible tactile sensors, piezoelectric tactile sensor has the advantage of fast response for dynamic force detection. However, it suffers from low sensitivity at high-frequency dynamic stimuli. Here, inspired by finger structure-rigid...

Zero Moment Line-Universal Stability Parameter for Multi-Contact Systems in Three Dimensions.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The widely used stability parameter, the zero moment point (ZMP), which is usually defined on the ground, is redefined, in this paper, in two different ways to acquire a more general form that allows its application to systems that are not supported ...

Highly robust and soft biohybrid mechanoluminescence for optical signaling and illumination.

Nature communications
Biohybrid is a newly emerging and promising approach to construct soft robotics and soft machines with novel functions, high energy efficiency, great adaptivity and intelligence. Despite many unique advantages of biohybrid systems, it is well known t...

Spatial Iterative Learning Control for Robotic Path Learning.

IEEE transactions on cybernetics
A spatial iterative learning control (sILC) method is proposed for a robot to learn a desired path in an unknown environment. When interacting with the environment, the robot initially starts with a predefined trajectory so an interaction force is ge...
