A Helical Bistable Soft Gripper Enable by Pneumatic Actuation

ICRA 2024poster

There are many instances of helical mechanisms that are used to efficiently grasp different objects with various shapes and sizes in nature. Inspired by the helical grasping in the nature, we proposed a helical bistable soft gripper with high load capacity and energy saving. An off-the-shelf bistabl…

Origami-Based Decoupling Clutch Achieves Energy-Efficient Legged Robots

RA-L 2023

Legged robots are capable of achieving energy-efficiency by introducing elastic elements in parallel with the actuators during the stance phase. However, the parallel elastic actuation results in a coupling motion between the parallel spring and the flexion movement of the leg mechanism during the s
