We introduce PAPRLE (Plug-And-Play Robotic Limb Environment), a modular ecosystem that enables flexible placement and control of robotic limbs. With PAPRLE, a user can re-configure the arrangement of the robotic limbs, and control them with various kinds of devices, including puppeteers, handheld co…
The Mobile Object Manipulation Operator (MOMO) is an innovative and reconfigurable robotic system that transforms traditional serving robots into mobile manipulators. Leveraging the form factor and mobility of serving robots, MOMO integrates up to three pluggable devices, including 6-DoF manipulator…
Soft tactile sensors can enable robots to grasp objects easily and stably by simultaneously providing tactile data and mechanical compliance to robotic hands. If there are low-cost and easy-to-build robotic hands equipped with soft tactile sensors, they would be highly accessible and facilitate many…
In this paper, we propose a lip-inspired passive jamming gripper by mimicking teeth structures from a dog's oral structure. Animal lips are hydrostatic structures. To mimic the features, which are usually soft but rigid when contacted, we used the passive particle jamming effect. To increase the ada…
