Robotic dressing assistance has the potential to improve the quality of life for individuals with limited mobility. Existing solutions predominantly rely on rigid robotic manipulators, which have challenges in handling deformable garments and ensuring safe physical interaction with the human body. P
Actuators that apply tension forces are widely applicable in robotics. In many applications of tensile actuators, a large stroke length, high force, and small, lightweight device are important. For these requirements, the best current solution is a winch, which uses a rotating shaft to pull lightwei
Soft, tip-extending, pneumatic "vine robots" that grow via eversion are well suited for navigating cluttered environments. Two key mechanisms that add to the robot’s functionality are a tip-mounted retraction device that allows the growth process to be reversed, and a tip-mounted camera that enables…
