Granular Composite with Addressable and Tunable Stiffness
… 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 arranged in …

Exploiting the Intrinsic Embodied Dynamics for Adaptive Robotic Behaviors
… to form a redundancy design. Both a particle-jamming soft finger and a universal gripper are developed to understand how the proper embodied dynamics design can enable robots to achieve complex and universal manipulation tasks. The incorporation of self-healing into the universal …
