Supernumerary robotic limbs for human augmentation in overhead assembly tasks
… simple and lightweight with use of a new type of granular jamming gripper that can grasp diverse objects from an arbitrary direction. This eliminates the need for orienting the gripper against the object with three-axis wrist joints, reducing the number of degrees of freedom (DOF) from 6 to 3. The …

Granular Composite with Addressable and Tunable Stiffness
… common approach to mimic this ability is through granular jamming, where a granular material switches between fluid and solid-like states based on density alterations caused by vacuum pressure. In this thesis, a cuboid composite material is introduced, containing internal cylindrical chambers …

Pneumatic variable stiffness soft robot end effectors
… of the fingers. The second approach uses granular jamming to vary the stiffness of the actual finger structure. This thesis explores the behaviour of both extensor and contractor pneumatic muscles and develops a new simplified mathematical model of the actuator’s behaviour. The two methods …
