Supernumerary Limbs and Continuum Manipulation
Additional robotic limbs that augment a person’s body for daily-living tasks. Building on the Soft Poly-Limbs paradigm established during my Ph.D., this line of work explores how soft actuators can provide a literal helping hand.
Soft Poly-Limbs
A new paradigm for mobile manipulation using soft, wearable poly-limbs for daily living tasks.
Fabric Soft Poly-Limbs
A textile-based evolution of the Soft Poly-Limb, lightweight enough for use in physical assistance during daily living tasks.
Soft Graspers
Soft, distributed graspers for picking up and manipulating delicate objects in everyday and assistive scenarios.
Sensorized Soft Continuum Module
An untethered soft continuum robotic module with embedded fabric sensing.
