In soft robotics, one of the trending topics is using soft sensors to have feedback from the robot's body. This is not an easy process to accomplish since the sensors are often nonlinear, so researchers use different methods to generate information from data such as filters, machine learning
This study investigates the effects of control uncertainties and random feet failures on the locomotion of the multi-legged miniature robots. The locomotion analyses results are verified with our modular multi-legged miniature robot with a soft/hybrid body named SMoLBot. A single SMoLBot module is 4
The conventional robotics, which involves utilization of robots made out of hard materials like metals and hard plastics, has helped humankind automate many different sorts of labor and such robots have been assisting the humans in various tasks. Nevertheless, some applications require very delicate
Soft Modular Legged Robot (SMoLBot) is a miniature, foldable, modular, soft-hybrid legged robot with compliant backbones. SMoLBot's body and locomotion mechanisms are folded out of acetate sheets and its compliant connection mechanisms are molded from Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). High maneuverabilit
The study of animals and insects have led to realization that animals select their gaits, patterns of leg movement, according to speed. For proper gait planning, the legs must be controlled for proper foot placement with respect to the body motion and ground interactions. However, in small scale rob…
