bending, and straining. The sensor could have soft robotic systems applications and could be a game-changer for augmented reality technology. A soft wearable sensor could allow augmented reality ...

Each of the three sections is covered with a soft silicone rubber skin embedded with a total of six sensors that detect where contact has been made. A single active tendon works to bend the finger ...

“What makes a robot precise ... from bending.” The project is developing a unified design and optimization framework to optimize hard/soft modules and to optimize sensor placement.

Orienting the fabric in one direction causes the robot to bend ... a robotic fabric with embedded actuation and sensing. Attaching the same robotic fabric to a soft body in different ways leads to ...

The field of soft ... bend in a direction that allows the chains to align with the field, then it will bend.” Using magnetic particles embedded in the device, the team is able to get the robot ...

In soft robotics, researchers usually use stretchable materials. However, bending and actuation operations affect ... "We only demonstrated sensor integration embedded into a soft robotic hand," says ...

soft robotics have been a one-way communication system, meaning they rely on external control to navigate through complex environments. Our goal was to integrate smart sensors so these robots ...

The team at Pennsylvania State University developed robots that use embedded ... bending, twisting, and crawling—no wires or onboard power is needed. “We wanted to design a system where soft ...
