Theoretical Foundation for Design of Friction-Tunable Soft Finger With Wrinkle's Morphology

RA-L 2019

We present a theoretical model for the design of a soft-fingered robotic hand/gripper with a friction-tunable function based on the idea of active wrinkles on its surface. Inspired by the formation of wrinkles on the human finger in a wet environment, our robotic finger is integrated with a pneumati

Morphological computation in tactile sensing: The role of wrinkle

ICRA 2017poster

This paper presents a new approach for active tactile sensation that utilizes soft morphological computation. This work is inspired by human finger's wet-induced wrinkles, which appear after a long time soaking in water, and has been indicated as an efficient means for enhancement of gripping in wet…
