Soft robots exhibit natural compliance which is desirable in many applications, but often require stiffness modulation techniques when more rigidity is needed. However, many existing stiffening techniques lack portability or fast response times, hindering the ubiquitous adoption of soft robots. Here…
Trans-catheter cardiac intervention has become an increasingly available option for high-risk patients without the complications of open heart surgery. However, current catheter-based platforms suffer from a lack of dexterity, force application, and compliance required to perform complex intracardia…

This paper proposes the utilization of Supernumerary Robotic Limbs (SuperLimbs) for augmenting astronauts during an Extra-Vehicular Activity (EVA) in a partial-gravity environment. We investigate the effectiveness of SuperLimbs in assisting astronauts to their feet following a fall. Based on prelimi…
