Development of a Pneumatically Driven Flexible Finger with Feedback Control of a Polyurethane Bend Sensor

IROS 2018poster

A pneumatically-driven flexible finger equipped with a flexible sensor is realized for improving the performance of the soft robotic hand. First, we propose a flexible angle estimation sensor. This sensor measures the change in the amount of light passing through polyurethane material and estimates…

Untethered three-arm pneumatic robot using hose-free pneumatic actuator

IROS 2016poster

Compressors and air hoses limit the mobility of mobile robots and the use of pneumatic actuators such that small pneumatic actuators, which can be driven without compressors, are strongly desired. We have been developing a new hose-free pneumatic actuator based on reversible gas/liquid chemical reac…
