A Magnetorheological Fluid-based Damper Towards Increased Biomimetism in Soft Robotic Actuators

Ravesh Sukhnandan, Kevin Dai, Victoria Webster–Wood

ICRA 2022poster

Damping properties in biological muscle are crit-ical for absorbing shock, maintaining posture, and positioning limbs and appendages. When creating biomimetic robots, the ability to replicate the dynamics of biological muscle is neces-sary to reproduce behaviors seen in an animal model. However, the…

Design of a Biomimetic Tactile Sensor for Material Classification

Kevin Dai, Xinyu Wang, Allison M. Rojas, Evan Harber, Yu Tian, Nicholas Paiva +5

ICRA 2022poster

Tactile sensing typically involves active exploration of unknown surfaces and objects, making it especially effective at processing the characteristics of materials and textures. A key property extracted by human tactile perception in material classification is surface roughness, which relies on mea…
