Soft robots,compared to rigid robots,possess inherent advantages,including higher degrees of freedom, compliance,and enhanced safety,which have contributed to their increasing application across various fields. Among these benefits, adaptability is particularly noteworthy. In this paper, adaptabilit…
Tactile sensing is essential for enabling dexterous robotic manipulation, yet estimating contact states such as location and force from high-dimensional sensor measurements remains challenging due to noise and complex nonlinear mappings between raw signals and physical interaction states. In this wo…
Soil is a vital resource for various industries, including agriculture, engineering, and manufacturing, where accurate in-situ classification is essential for a wide range of applications. Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) enables real-time soil classification by capturing complex impedance data
Most braille-reading robotic sensors employ a discrete letter-by-letter reading strategy, despite the higher potential speeds of a biomimetic sliding approach. We propose a complete pipeline for continuous braille reading: frames are dynamically collected with a vision-based tactile sensor; an autoe
As soft robotic systems become increasingly complex, there is a need to develop sensory systems which can provide rich state information to the robot for feedback control. Multi-axis force sensing and control is one of the less explored problems in this domain. There are numerous challenges in the d…
The ability to 3D print soft materials with integrated strain sensors enables significant flexibility for the design and fabrication of soft robots. Hydrogels provide an interesting alternative to traditional soft robot materials, allowing for more varied fabrication techniques. In this work, we inv
