The Aerial Object Goal Navigation, a challenging frontier in Embodied AI, requires an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) agent to autonomously explore, reason, and identify a specific target using only visual perception and language description. However, existing methods struggle with the memorization of
Tactile sensing plays a crucial role to empower robotic hands with improved grasping and manipulating abilities. In this paper, we propose an anthropomorphic robotic hand design with dual air bag sensors integrated soft fingertips to achieve tactile sensing. The air bag sensor is low-cost, easy-to-b
Soft robotic gloves can not only provide timely, effective, safe and cheap rehabilitation training for patients with impaired movement function of hand, but also assist in completing daily grasping activities. However, most soft robotic gloves are completely composed of flexible structures. Although…
Creatures can co-evolve their biological structures and behaviors under environmental pressures. Leveraging biomimetic evolution algorithms (referred to as co-design or co-optimization), a diverse range of robots with environmental adaptation has been generated. However, implementing these evolution
Force perception is important for the manipulation of soft robotic hands. Multiple-direction interactions between fingers and objects occur predominantly at the fingertips during manipulation. Integrating physical multi-dimensional force sensors for soft fingertips poses stringent demands on the man
This work presents a humanoid soft robotics finger design with rigid skeletons and proprioceptive sensors. This 4-DOFs dexterous finger has soft joints and rigid phalanxes, which is about the size of human hand. To enhance the overall stiffness and for human-like behavior and configuration, rigid-so…
