Multi-Gait Locomotion Planning and Tracking for Tendon-Actuated Terrestrial Soft Robot (TerreSoRo)

IROS 2023poster

The adaptability of soft robots makes them ideal candidates to maneuver through unstructured environments. However, locomotion challenges arise due to complexities in modeling the body mechanics, actuation, and robot-environment dynamics. These factors contribute to the gap between their potential a…

Shape-centric Modeling for Soft Robot Inchworm Locomotion

IROS 2021poster

Soft robot modeling tends to prioritize soft robot dynamics in order to recover how they might behave. Soft robot design tends to focus on how to use compliant elements with actuation to effect certain canonical movement profiles. For soft robot locomotors, these profiles should lead to locomotion.…
