Abstract Agricultural tasks and environments range from harsh field conditions with semi-structured produce or animals, through to post-processing in food-processing environments. From farm fork, the development application of soft robotics offers a plethora potential uses. Robust yet compliant interactions between machines will enable new capabilities optimize existing processes. There is also an opportunity explore how modeling tools used can be applied improve our representation...
In soft robotics, variable stiffening is the key to taking full advantage of properties such as compliance, manip-ulability and deformability. However, many stiffness actuators mechanisms which have been produced so far control these robots are slow, bulky, or require additional complex actuators. This paper presents a novel passive joint based upon intrinsic non-Newtonian behavior Shear Thickening Fluids (STFs). The varied by changing speed at it actuated meaning that for use in dynamic...
Fresh produce handling, particularly in final inspection and pack, is highly dependent on dextrous human labour. As part of a relatively low-profit margin industry, rising wage costs labour shortages are impacting the viability this sector direct threat to global food security. Adoption robotics required automate delicate handling tasks; key goal for sustainable profitable businesses that supply packed consumers. This mini review considers state art, as well any developments robotic...
