Emergence of behavior through morphology: a case study on an octopus inspired manipulator.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Apr 24, 2019
The complex motion abilities of the Octopus vulgaris have been an intriguing research topic for biologists and roboticists alike. Various studies have been conducted on the underlying control architectures employed by these high dimensional biologica...
A soft multi-module manipulator with variable stiffness for minimally invasive surgery.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Sep 26, 2017
This work presents a soft manipulator for minimally invasive surgery inspired by the biological capabilities of the octopus arm. The multi-module arm is composed of three identical units, which are able to move thanks to embedded fluidic actuators th...
Hybrid parameter identification of a multi-modal underwater soft robot.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Feb 28, 2017
We introduce an octopus-inspired, underwater, soft-bodied robot capable of performing waterborne pulsed-jet propulsion and benthic legged-locomotion. This vehicle consists for as much as 80% of its volume of rubber-like materials so that structural f...
Highly stretchable electroluminescent skin for optical signaling and tactile sensing.
Science (New York, N.Y.)
Mar 3, 2016
Cephalopods such as octopuses have a combination of a stretchable skin and color-tuning organs to control both posture and color for visual communication and disguise. We present an electroluminescent material that is capable of large uniaxial stretc...
Dynamics of underwater legged locomotion: modeling and experiments on an octopus-inspired robot.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Jul 30, 2015
This paper studies underwater legged locomotion (ULL) by means of a robotic octopus-inspired prototype and its associated model. Two different types of propulsive actions are embedded into the robot model: reaction forces due to leg contact with the ...
Measuring information transfer in a soft robotic arm.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
May 13, 2015
Soft robots can exhibit diverse behaviors with simple types of actuation by partially outsourcing control to the morphological and material properties of their soft bodies, which is made possible by the tight coupling between control, body, and envir...
Learning the inverse kinetics of an octopus-like manipulator in three-dimensional space.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
May 13, 2015
This work addresses the inverse kinematics problem of a bioinspired octopus-like manipulator moving in three-dimensional space. The bioinspired manipulator has a conical soft structure that confers the ability of twirling around objects as a real oct...
Octopus-inspired multi-arm robotic swimming.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
May 13, 2015
The outstanding locomotor and manipulation characteristics of the octopus have recently inspired the development, by our group, of multi-functional robotic swimmers, featuring both manipulation and locomotion capabilities, which could be of significa...
Octopus-like suction cups: from natural to artificial solutions.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
May 13, 2015
Octopus suckers are able to attach to all nonporous surfaces and generate a very strong attachment force. The well-known attachment features of this animal result from the softness of the sucker tissues and the surface morphology of the portion of th...
