Journal ArticleDOI
Increasing the Dimensionality of Soft Microstructures through Injection-Induced Self-Folding
Tommaso Ranzani,Tommaso Ranzani,Sheila Russo,Sheila Russo,Nicholas W. Bartlett,Michael Wehner,Robert J. Wood +6 more
TL;DR: To illustrate the capabilities of this new fabrication paradigm, the first "microfluidic origami for reconfigurable pneumatic/hydraulic" device is designed and manufactured: a 12-layer soft robotic peacock spider with embedded microfluidics circuitry and actuatable features.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Additive Millimeter-Scale Fabrication Method for Soft Biocompatible Actuators and Sensors
TL;DR: In this article, a hybrid manufacturing paradigm is introduced that combines pop-up book microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) manufacturing with soft-lithographic techniques to produce millimeter-scale mechanisms with embedded sensing and user-defined distributed compliance.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Novel Robotic Platform for Laser-Assisted Transurethral Surgery of the Prostate
TL;DR: A novel robotic platform for laser-assisted transurethral surgery of BPH, designed to be compatible with the traditional endoscopic instrumentation, is presented and validated demonstrating the robot's capability of detecting sub-Newton contact forces even in combination with actuation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Design of a Robotic Module for Autonomous Exploration and Multimode Locomotion
Sheila Russo,Kanako Harada,Tommaso Ranzani,Luigi Manfredi,Cesare Stefanini,Arianna Menciassi,Paolo Dario +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the mechanical design of a novel robotic module for a self-reconfigurable modular robotic system is presented, named Scout robot, which is designed to serve both as a fully sensorized autonomous miniaturized robot for exploration in unstructured environments and as a module of a larger robotic organism.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Force Transfer Characterization of a Soft Exosuit for Gait Assistance
TL;DR: In this article, a methodology for characterizing the structured functional textile of soft exosuits and then using that methodology to evaluate several factors that lead to different suit-human series stiffnesses and pressure distributions over the body.
