SoMo: Fast and Accurate Simulations of Continuum Robots in Complex Environments

IROS 2021poster

Engineers and scientists often rely on their intuition and experience when designing soft robotic systems. The development of performant controllers and motion plans for these systems commonly requires time-consuming iterations on hardware. We present the SoMo (Soft Motion) toolkit, a software frame…

The Role of Digit Arrangement in Soft Robotic In-Hand Manipulation

IROS 2021poster

The need for robotic hands capable of gentle in-hand manipulation is growing rapidly as robots enter the real world. In this work, we show that the arrangement of digits in a soft robotic hand has a strong effect on in-hand manipulation capabilities. Introducing task-based performance metrics which…
