Milliscale Features Increase Friction of Soft Skin in Lubricated Contact

Monica S. Li, Dominic Melville, Ethan Chung, Hannah S. Stuart

RA-L 2020

Real world environments, such as kitchens, present objects covered in viscous fluids: soap, oil, water, etc. Understanding and designing for slippery and submerged contact, where fluid lubrication is present, is a continuing challenge in the robotics community. Contact area, bending stiffness, and t

Tactile sensing based on fingertip suction flow for submerged dexterous manipulation

Philippe Nadeau, Michael Abbott, Dominic Melville, Hannah S. Stuart

ICRA 2020poster

The ocean is a harsh and unstructured environment for robotic systems; high ambient pressures, saltwater corrosion and low-light conditions demand machines with robust electrical and mechanical parts that are able to sense and respond to the environment. Prior work shows that the addition of gentle…
