Soft manipulator is a kind of special manipulator that uses soft material or flexible structure to perform manipulation task under the specific drive mode inspired by the soft tissue. It is developing gradually as an important component of the soft robot. In this paper, the typical design cases of the soft manipulators as well as the related research teams are firstly investigated. The characteristics...
An autonomous control system is developed for a shape-shifting robot "AMOEBA-I" to be possibly used in the urban terrain. Based on the sensors including GPS, electronic compass, inclinometer and encoder, the autonomous motions of AMOEBA-I are realized. The shape-shifting motion, navigation, obstacle-climbing motion, and obstacle avoidance are all autonomously performed in unstructured environments...
