Fast Model-Based Contact Patch and Pose Estimation for Highly Deformable Dense-Geometry Tactile Sensors

RA-L 2020

Modeling deformable contact is a well-known problem in soft robotics and is particularly challenging for compliant interfaces that permit large deformations. We present a model for the behavior of a highly deformable dense geometry sensor in its interaction with objects; the forward model predicts t

Improving Soft Pneumatic Actuator fingers through integration of soft sensors, position and force control, and rigid fingernails

ICRA 2016

Soft Pneumatic Actuators (SPAs) have recently become popular for use as fingers in robotic hands because of their inherent compliance, low cost, and ease of construction. We seek to overcome two key limitations which limit SPAs' abilities to grasp and manipulate objects: 1) Current SPAs lack positio
