Soft-bodied crawling animals exhibit efficient and adaptive behaviors resulting from the synergy between morphological computation (e.g., a flexible soft body and anisotropic skin) and neural computation (e.g., neural control with plasticity and short-term memory (STM)). However, applying these prin
Legged animals still outperform many terrestrial robots due to the complex interplay of various component subsystems. Centralization is a potential integrated design axis to help improve the performance of legged robots in variable terrain environments. Centralization arises from the coupling of mul
Conventional approaches in robotics for perceiving the environment and signaling the robot’s state or intention for human-robot interaction involve the use of separate sensing and signaling systems. This can sometimes result in high costs and complex system installations. In this study, we propose a…
Grasping multiple object types (versatile object grasping) with a single gripper is always a challenging task in robotic manipulation. Different types of grippers, including rigid and soft, have been developed to try to achieve the task. However, each gripper type is still restricted to specific obj
