Summary
This presentation focuses on our research work on developing tactile sensors and dry adhesion skins for robotic hands with dexterous and versatile capability for grasping and adaptive manipulation. It also presents an overview of exploratory solutions to modeling of hyper-elastic soft robots, distributed control of soft actuators (polymers or fluids), strategies for soft manipulation, and rapid prototyping and fabrication of the sensors and elastic robots.
