Modulation of Magnetorheological Fluid Flow in Soft Robots Using Electropermanent Magnets
RA-L 2022
Magnetorheological (MR) fluids, which stiffen in the presence of magnetic fields, have been shown to be an effective means for controlling the inflation of soft actuators. However, past efforts have largely focused on binary control. Proportional control schemes have faltered due to the difficulty i
