Strain-Coordinated Formation, Migration, and Encapsulation Behaviors in a Tethered Robot Collective

Sadie Cutler, Danna Ma, Kirstin Petersen

ICRA 2025

Tethers are an underutilized tool in multi-robot systems: tethers can provide power, facilitate retrieval and sensing, and be used to manipulate and gather objects. Starting with the simplest possible configuration, our work explores how agents linked in series by flexible, passive, fixed-length tet

Simple, Low-Cost Fabrication of Soft Sensors for Shape Reconstruction

Danna Ma, Steven Ceron, Gregory Kaiser, Kirstin Petersen

RA-L 2020

Shape reconstruction by soft sensors may be useful in applications ranging from precision agriculture to haptics and factory automation due to the potential for low-cost fabrication, durable operation, and safe and compliant interaction. Current prevalent techniques, however, require expertise, expe
