This letter presents a dexterous soft robotic hand, BCL-13, with 4 fingers and 13
independently actuated joints capable of in-hand manipulation. The iconic dexterity is …

Soft robot is known for great safety in human-centered environments due to its inherent
compliance. However, the compliance resulting from the soft continuum structure and …

Proprioception is the ability to perceive environmental stimulations through internal sensory
organs. Enabling proprioception is critical for robots to be aware of the environmental …

Soft manipulators attract increasing interest in robotic applications involving the unstructured
environment and human-robot interaction. The majority of the soft manipulator with fluidic …

In this paper, we present a compliant robotic gripper, Edgy-2, with 4-DOF dexterity, enabling
four grasping modes: parallel grasping, power grasping, finger-tip pinch and fully-actuated …

Mechanoreception, the ability of robots to detect mechanical stimuli from the internal and
external environments, contributes significantly to improving safety and task performance …

Soft robotic arms are receiving more and more attention for their intrinsic safety and natural
compliance. Instead of traditional serialized rotary joints, soft robotic arms often have …

Impact safety and response are critical challenges for robots working under dynamic
environments and with close proximity to humans. State-of-the-art rigid robots and soft …

In industrial application, the conventional hard grippers have been widely used for a long
time. However, when hard grippers are used, the shape of the gripper surface has to be …

This letter presents a self-folding piston-style actuator for flat-foldable robots. Despite the
variety of soft and planar actuators used in origami robots, extensional actuators are …
