Acoustic Communication and Sensing for Inflatable Modular Soft Robots

Daniel S. Drew, Matthew Devlin, Elliot Hawkes, Sean Follmer

ICRA 2021poster

Modular soft robots combine the strengths of two traditionally separate areas of robotics. As modular robots, they can show robustness to individual failure and reconfigurability; as soft robots, they can deform and undergo large shape changes in order to adapt to their environment, and have inheren…

Passive returning mechanism for twisted string actuators

Muhammad Usman, Bhivraj Suthar, Hyunseok Seong, Elliot Hawkes, Igor Gaponov, Jee-Hwan Ryu

ICRA 2017poster

The twisted string actuator is an actuator that is gaining popularity in various engineering and robotics and applications. However, the fundamental limitation of actuators of this type is the uni-directional action, meaning that the actuator can contract but requires external power to return to its…
