Modular designs in soft robots enable repair and reconfiguration, making soft modular robots suitable for applications where resilience, flexibility, and adaptability are critical. This paper introduces a modular soft robot (MSR) based on origami actuator modules that are manufactured from reversible polymers, e.g., self-healing polymers. This work highlights three...
While most soft pneumatic grippers that operate with a single control parameter (such as pressure or airflow) are limited to a single grasping modality, this article introduces a new method for incorporating multiple grasping modalities into vacuum-driven soft grippers. This is achieved by combining stiffness manipulation with a bistable mechanism. The system featu...
Translating human intent into robot commands is crucial for the future of service robots in an aging society. Existing human–robot interaction (HRI) systems relying on gestures or verbal commands are impractical for the elderly, due to difficulties with complex syntax or sign language. To address the challenge, this article introduces a multimodal interaction frame...
This article explores the advent of an innovative autonomous robot designed to enhance hospital disinfection through targeted wiping and ultraviolet-C (UV-C) irradiation methods. The urgency for such advancements has been underscored by the COVID-19 pandemic, which revealed challenges, such as low compliance rates, physical fatigue, labor shortages, and heightened ...
The mobility and manipulation of bipedal humanoid robots always depend on their legs, which account for balance and may substantially accelerate energy consumption, especially when the lower body is expected to be stationary. To this end, this article presents a biomimetic and energy-efficient design for bipedal robots’ legs and extensively demonstrates its perform...
