Soft pneumatic bending actuators (SPBAs) are commonly employed in soft robotics due to their unique characteristics, including safety, low weight, speed, and load capacity. However, the combination of pneumatics with soft materials causes SPBAs to exhibit nonlinearities and infinite degrees of freed…
Connection mechanisms are crucial in reconfigurable robots. In this work, we present a novel approach, based on the self-healing property of a hydrogel synthesized by our group, which allows us to easily attach and detach robotic modules using water as the only trigger element. Our connection mechan…
This communication presents an application for the use of ontologies in the generation of robot structures. The ontology developed for this app relies on the IEEE Standard Ontologies for Robotics and Automation (ORA) and it incorporates a set of concepts, relations and axioms that link robotic skill…
