On the Design, Analysis, and Experimental Validation of Pneumatically-Actuated, Soft Robotic, Telescopic Structures

IROS 2025

Soft robotics leverages highly elastic, deformable materials to enable sensitive human-centered applications in medicine, rehabilitation, and assistance, as well as industrial applications like robotic grasping and load-bearing. One particular type of soft robotic actuator - the pneumatically-actuat

SOL: A Compact, Portable, Telescopic, Soft-Robotic Sun-Tracking Mechanism for Improved Solar Power Production

ICRA 2024poster

Solar power is becoming an increasingly popular option for energy production in commercial and private applications. While installing solar panels (photovoltaic cells) in a stationary configuration is simple and inexpensive, such a setup fails to maximise their potential solar energy production. Sin…
