Soft jumping robotSoft-morphing, deformation control by fabric structures, and soft-jumping mechanisms using magnetic yield points are studied. The...
Smart Gripper with Soft sensorExpanding on previous designs, this study reports on a variable-stiffness soft gripper with an added silicone coating for increased...
Variable-Stiffness GripperSoft robots have advantages such as low weight and compact size compared to rigid robots. Variable stiffness is one of the key methods of...
Dual-Stiffness MechanismTo improve the multi-functionality of a structure, a foldable or deployable structure with variable stiffness is needed. This article...
Variable Stiffness Flapping RobotCompliance can increase the thrust generated by the fin of a bio-inspired underwater vehicle. To improve the performance of a compliant...
Compliant Caudal finThe compliance of a fin affects the thrust of underwater vehicles mimicking the undulatory motion of fish. Determining the optimal...
