Integrated Electronic Circuitry for Soft Robots using Multi-Material FDM Printing

Cem Aygül, Ritwik Pandey, Krishram Kothimbakam, Ceren Yılmaz Akkaya, Pratap M. Rao, Markus P. Nemitz
IROS 2024poster

The integration of electronics into compliant materials is typically complex, cumbersome, and jeopardizes system-level compliance. Using multi-material fused deposition modeling, we introduce a framework in which components of a soft robot and conductive traces are deposited in a single print. Our n…

The Soft Compiler: A Web-Based Tool for the Design of Modular Pneumatic Circuits for Soft Robots

Savita V. Kendre, Lauryn Whiteside, Tian Y. Fan, Jovanna A. Tracz, Gus T. Teran, Thomas C. Underwood +6
RA-L 2022

Developing soft circuits from individual soft logic gates poses a unique challenge: with increasing numbers of logic gates, the design and implementation of circuits lead to inefficiencies due to mathematically unoptimized circuits and wiring mistakes during assembly. It is therefore practically imp

Tube-Balloon Logic for the Exploration of Fluidic Control Elements

Jovanna A. Tracz, Lukas Wille, Dylan Pathiraja, Savita V. Kendre, Ron Pfisterer, Ethan Turett +7
RA-L 2022

The control of pneumatically driven soft robots typically requires electronics. Microcontrollers are connected to power electronics that switch valves and pumps on and off. As a recent alternative, fluidic control methods have been introduced, in which soft digital logic gates permit multiple actuat
