Soft Aerial Manipulation
… explores the theory and implementation of a soft drone, consisting of a quadrotor and a tendon-actuated soft gripper, which for the first time fully exploits the advantages of softness in aerial manipulation. Manipulation and grasping with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) currently require …

A Methodology for Agricultural Robotics development
… a camera, pneumatics, a belt drive and a soft gripper. The general name given to this process is Manipulation. The Vegebot project is described in detail and the derived methodology is outlined.

Aggressive Aerial Grasping using a Soft Drone with Onboard Perception
… targets. We describe the first example of a soft aerial manipulator equipped with a fully onboard perception pipeline, capable of robustly localizing and grasping visually and morphologically varied objects. The proposed system features a novel passively closing tendon-actuated soft gripper …

Functional kirigami by exploiting elastic instabilities
… providing actuation and locomotion for soft robots, and performing material-based physical intelligence computations. For an elastic structure, shape-shifting can be achieved through reversible and controllable elastic instabilities. Among various types of structures designed for …

Advancing Kinematic Control from Rigid Robots to Dynamic Bio-Inspired Systems for Adaptive Behaviours
… Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT)-enabled soft gripper. Its adaptive morphology and interaction with the environment structured the high-dimensional, 'through-the-material' sensing, enabling the mapping of this data to low-dimensional ripeness properties for accurate predictions. The final …

An investigation into biomimetic gripping based on insect tarsal chains
Existing robotic grippers can be highly capable in terms of precision and power, but tend to lack versatility. Over the last decades, this fact has resulted in the inception of soft grippers - systems that are softer, more compliant and - often - come without discrete joints. These properties make …
