Soft Capacitive Force Sensors With Low Hysteresis Based on Folded and Rolled Structures

RA-L 2022

Force sensors made of a polymer material with soft characteristics have application potential in the fields of soft robotics, exoskeletons, and human motion measurement. However, the hysteresis of soft force sensors is generally large because their sensing materials are rubbers with large dynamic vi

A Structure for Fast Stiffness-Variation and Omnidirectional-Steering Continuum Manipulator

RA-L 2021

Stiffness variation is useful in soft robots, especially for continuum manipulators which have a high slenderness ratio. Softness intrinsically gives robots high flexibility of movement, but stiffness gives the robots enough carrying capacity. Many types of continuum manipulators can change their st
