Journal ArticleDOI
Highly stretchable electroluminescent skin for optical signaling and tactile sensing
Chris Larson,Bryan Peele,Shuo Li,Sanlin S. Robinson,Massimo Totaro,Lucia Beccai,Barbara Mazzolai,Robert F. Shepherd +7 more
TL;DR: An electroluminescent material is presented that is capable of large uniaxial stretching and surface area changes while actively emitting light and is combined in a stretchable electronic material suitable for soft robotics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toward Perceptive Soft Robots: Progress and Challenges
TL;DR: The knowledge gap and promising solutions toward perceptive soft robots are discussed and analyzed to provide a perspective in this field and challenges and trends in developing multimodal sensors, stretchable conductive materials and electronic interfaces, modeling techniques, and data interpretation for soft robotic sensing are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flexible Three‐Axial Force Sensor for Soft and Highly Sensitive Artificial Touch
Lucie Viry,Alessandro Levi,Massimo Totaro,Alessio Mondini,Virgilio Mattoli,Barbara Mazzolai,Lucia Beccai +6 more
TL;DR: A soft tactile sensor able to detect both normal and tangential forces is fabricated with a simple method using conductive textile, representing an original approach in the emulation of natural touch.
Journal ArticleDOI
3D Printing Materials for Soft Robotics.
TL;DR: Recent developments in the field of materials for 3D printing of soft robotics are summarized, including high-performance flexible and stretchable materials, hydrogels, self-healing materials, and shape memory polymers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Soft Smart Garments for Lower Limb Joint Position Analysis.
Massimo Totaro,Tommaso Poliero,Alessio Mondini,Chiara Lucarotti,Giovanni Cairoli,Jesús Ortiz,Lucia Beccai +6 more
TL;DR: This work addresses the development of smart garments for lower limb motion detection, like a textile kneepad and anklet in which soft sensors and readout electronics are embedded for retrieving movement of the specific joint.
