Abstract:Soft manipulators have desirable environmental compatibility because of their pliability. However, this pliability also brings challenges to modeling and control when considering contact or collision with the environment. In previous work, we established several mathematical models for describing fluidic soft manipulators under environmental effects and verified their accuracy. However, the controller design for a soft manipulator is still a significant challenge, especially under the conditions of environment… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
