Soft robotics is a rapidly evolving field where robots are fabricated using highly deformable
materials and usually follow a bioinspired design. Their high dexterity and safety make them …

Grasping is the process of picking up an object by applying forces and torques at a set of
contacts. Recent advances in deep learning methods have allowed rapid progress in robotic …

Executing safe and precise flight maneuvers in dynamic high-speed winds is important for
the ongoing commoditization of uninhabited aerial vehicles (UAVs). However, because the …

The design of novel protein structures remains a challenge in protein engineering for
applications across biomedicine and chemistry. In this line of work, a diffusion model over …

Continuum robots are not constructed with discrete joints but, instead, change shape and
position their tip by flexing along their entire length. Their narrow curvilinear shape makes …

To facilitate the analysis of human actions, interactions and emotions, we compute a 3D
model of human body pose, hand pose, and facial expression from a single monocular …

With the rapid development of computer technology, automatic control technology and
communication technology, research on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has attracted …

The robotics community has seen an exponential growth in the level of complexity of the
theoretical tools presented for the modeling of soft robotics devices. Different solutions have …

Many soft robots are composed of soft fluidic actuators that are fabricated from silicone
rubbers and use hydraulic or pneumatic actuation. The strong nonlinearities and complex …

This paper introduces a new robust, dynamic quadruped, the MIT Cheetah 3. Like its
predecessor, the Cheetah 3 exploits tailored mechanical design to enable simple control …
