Design and Control of Modular Soft-Rigid Hybrid Manipulators with
Self-Contact
Soft robotics focuses on designing robots with highly deformable materials, allowing them to adapt and operate safely and reliably in unstructured and variable environments. While soft robots offer increased compliance over rigid body robots, their payloads are limited, and they consume significant energy when operating against gravity in terrestrial environments. …
