Vision-based tactile soft sensors are increasingly applied to robotic perception and manipulation by leveraging high-resolution imaging during contact with environmental surfaces, thereby enabling more adaptable and robust inter-actions.Nonetheless, ensuring optimal contact force to achieve uniform,…
This paper establishes an analytical model for a dual-pressure-actuated pneumatic linear actuator, investigating the relationship between the output force of the linear actuator and both the pressure differential and displacement. Experiments were designed to validate the model. The maximum output f
Soft robots, compared to regular rigid robots, as their multiple segments with soft materials bring flexibility and compliance, have the advantages of safe interaction and dexterous operation in the environment. However, due to its characteristics of high dimensional, nonlinearity, time-varying natu
Cats have protractible claws to fold their tips to keep them sharp. They protract claws while hunting and pawing on slippery surfaces. Protracted claws by tendons and muscles of toes can help cats anchoring themselves steady while their locomotion trends to slip and releasing the hold while they ret…
