This letter describes the manufacturing and experimental characterization of novel stretchable strain sensors for continuum robots. The overarching goal of this research is to provide a new solution for the shape sensing of these devices. The sensors are fabricated via direct ink writing, an extrusi
This work describes the development, demonstration, and performance evaluation study of a wearable human machine interface for robotic teleoperation. We present a novel tetherless human machine interface in the form of a backpack, wearable 3D arm motion capture sensors, finger flexion sensors, and p…
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…
