A Modular, Tendon Driven Variable Stiffness Manipulator with Internal Routing for Improved Stability and Increased Payload Capacity

Kyle L. Walker, Alix J. Partridge, Hsing-Yu Chen, Rahul R. Ramachandran, Adam A. Stokes, Kenjiro Tadakuma +2

ICRA 2024poster

Stability and reliable operation under a spectrum of environmental conditions is still an open challenge for soft and continuum style manipulators. The inability to carry sufficient load and effectively reject external disturbances are two drawbacks which limit the scale of continuum designs, preven…

A Contact-Triggered Adaptive Soft Suction Cup

Tianqi Yue, Weiyong Si, Alix J. Partridge, Chenguang Yang, Andrew T. Conn, Hermes Bloomfield-Gadêlha +1

RA-L 2022

Suction adhesion is widely used by natural organisms for gripping irregular objects (e.g., rocks), but their artificial counterparts show less adaptation in the same situation. In addition, they can require complex sensing and control systems to function. In this paper, we present a contact-triggere

Passive, Reflex Response Units for Reactive Soft Robotic Systems

Alix J. Partridge, Andrew T. Conn

RA-L 2020

As robotic systems enter an ever expanding spectrum of industries, it is becoming increasingly important that they are built to respond quickly and efficiently to dynamic environments. This letter presents a passive, reflex response (PRR) unit for quick actuation of pneumatic soft robotic systems. T
