Viscoelasticity-Based Mechanistic Modeling and Control of Bending Pneumatic Muscles

ICRA 2026poster

Predicting the kinematics of bending pneumatic muscles (BPMs) remains challenging due to the necessity for models that effectively address the pronounced hysteresis and creep inherent in soft materials. While prior research has predominantly focused on phenomenological and data-driven modeling appro…

An Improved Koopman-MPC Framework for Data-Driven Modeling and Control of Soft Actuators

RA-L 2023

The challenge of achieving precise control of soft actuators with strong nonlinearity is mainly due to the difficulty of deriving models suitable for model-based control techniques. Fortunately, Koopman operator provides a data-driven method for constructing control-oriented models of nonlinear syst
