Noncontact Estimation of Stiffness Based on Optical Coherence Elastography under Acoustic Radiation Pressure

IROS 2020poster

In this study, we propose a method of noncontact elastography, which allows us to investigate stiffness of soft structures by combining optical and acoustic modalities. We use optical coherence tomography (OCT) as a means of detecting internal deformation of a sample appearing in response to a mecha…

Wireless Soft Actuator Based on Liquid-Gas Phase Transition Controlled by Millimeter-Wave Irradiation

RA-L 2020

We propose a wireless soft actuator controlled thermally by millimeter-wave irradiation. The actuator is composed of low boiling point liquid sealed in a soft bellows. By irradiating high-power millimeter-waves, the liquid can be evaporated to generate a strong mechanical force. We characterize the
