A soft robotic surface manipulator is a device equipped with a computer-controlled, deformable surface. By moving the surface, objects placed on the robot can be transported, rotated, or otherwise brought into a desired configuration. A probabilistic automaton can use camera feedback to measure and control the movement of the work pieces, and find the optimal sequence of actions to reach a desired...
To study the effect of food flow rheology on the human esophageal swallowing process, a biologically inspired actuator prototype has been developed. The actuator is made of silicone rubber where smooth and continuous peristaltic motion is generated by inflating air chambers distributed within its body. The soft material gives the actuator intrinsic compliance and infinite degrees of freedom in motion...
Development of an aerial manipulator prototype for canopy sampling is presented. As part of addressing the unique challenges of operating in a forest canopy environment, the prototype features an offset-mounted manipulator. The first steps of flight experiments have been conducted in an attempt to determine the viability of an off-the-shelf PID flight control implementation — acceptable performance...
