Design, fabrication and control of soft robots
Daniela Rus,Michael T. Tolley +1 more
TL;DR: This Review discusses recent developments in the emerging field of soft robotics, and explores the design and control of soft-bodied robots composed of compliant materials.
Journal ArticleDOI
A method for building self-folding machines
TL;DR: This origami-inspired robot can fold itself in 4 minutes and walk away without human intervention, demonstrating the potential both for complex self-folding machines and autonomous, self-controlled assembly.
PatentDOI
Resilient, untethered soft robot
TL;DR: In this article, a pneumatically powered, fully untethered mobile soft robot is described, and composites consisting of silicone elastomer, polyaramid fabric, and hollow glass microspheres are used to fabricate a sufficiently large soft robot to carry the miniature air compressors, battery, valves and controller needed for autonomous operation.
Journal ArticleDOI
A 3D-printed, functionally graded soft robot powered by combustion
Nicholas W. Bartlett,Nicholas W. Bartlett,Michael T. Tolley,Johannes T. B. Overvelde,James C. Weaver,Bobak Mosadegh,Katia Bertoldi,George M. Whitesides,George M. Whitesides,Robert J. Wood,Robert J. Wood +10 more
TL;DR: Using three-dimensional printing to fuse together multiple materials to manufacture a combustion-powered robot whose body transitions from a rigid core to a soft exterior, which is able to perform untethered jumping and also enhances performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Soft Robotics: Review of Fluid‐Driven Intrinsically Soft Devices; Manufacturing, Sensing, Control, and Applications in Human‐Robot Interaction
Panagiotis Polygerinos,Nikolaus Correll,Stephen A. Morin,Bobak Mosadegh,Cagdas D. Onal,Kirstin Petersen,Matteo Cianchetti,Michael T. Tolley,Robert F. Shepherd +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on a particular type of intrinsically soft, elastomeric robot powered via fluidic pressurization, and present a review of their use in soft robotics.
