The objective of this letter is to investigate the dynamic control of a soft robotic arm. First, a modular soft robotic hardware and an affordable actuator-space encoder were presented. We then discussed the soft robot modeling, and adaptive passivity control strategy with stability proof. The propo
Growing global demand for food, coupled with continuing labor shortages, motivate the need for automated agricultural harvesting. While some specialty crops (e.g., apples, peaches, blueberries) can be harvested via existing harvesting modalities, fruits such as blackberries and raspberries require d…
Global berry production and consumption have significantly increased in recent years, coinciding with increased consumer awareness of the health-promoting benefits of berries. Of those consumed, fresh-market blackberries are primarily harvested by hand to maintain postharvest quality. However, the f
