Abstract In this paper, we propose a multimodal flexible sensory interface for interactively teaching soft robots to perform skilled locomotion using bare human hands. First, develop bimodal smart skin (FBSS) based on triboelectric nanogenerator and liquid metal sensing that can simultaneous tactile touchless distinguish these two modes in real time. With the FBSS, react their own stimuli. We then distance control method enabled humans teach movements via hand-eye coordination. The results...
Abstract This study presents an intelligent soft robotic system capable of perceiving, describing, and sorting objects based on their physical properties. work introduces a bimodal self‐powered flexible sensor (BSFS) the triboelectric nanogenerator giant magnetoelastic effect. The BSFS features simplified structure comprising conductive film packaged liquid metal coil. can precisely detect distinguish touchless tactile models, with response time 10 ms. By seamlessly integrating BSFSs into...
Hybrid aerial–aquatic robots can operate in both air and water cross between these two. They be applied to amphibious observation, maritime search rescue, cross‐domain environmental monitoring. Herein, an hitchhiking robot is proposed that fly, swim, rapidly the air–water boundaries (0.16 s) autonomously attach surfaces water. Inspired by mechanoreceptors of remora ( Echeneis naucrates ) disc, robot's device equipped with two flexible bioinspired tactile sensors (FBTS) based on a...
Delicate underwater manipulation tasks such as biological specimen collection are promising fields that require new robotic designs and intelligent technologies. In this study, we proposed an automatic aquatic object-collecting system with a soft manipulator controlled by reinforcement learning-based controller. For sensing, implemented visual perception framework to restore the quality of image, detect seafood animals, track target's position. The online learning ability controller endowed...
Miniature soft sensors are crucial for the perception of robots. Although centimeter-scale have been well developed, very few works addressed millimeter-scale, three-dimensional-shaped capable measuring multi-axis forces. In this work, we developed a millimeter-scale (overall size 6 mm × 11 mm) sensor based on liquid metal printing technology and self-folding origami parallel mechanism. The design enables to be manufactured within plane then fold into three-dimensional shape. Furthermore,...
In recent years, there have been advancements in high-performance soft sensors with simultaneous moderate sensitivity and wide linearity. However, it remains challenging to combine high-efficiency production high performance for sensors. The skin hair structure provide an elegantly simple sensing model, where acts as signal receptors basal processors. Herein, we used efficient electrostatic flocking extrusion printing engineer comb-shaped electrodes conductive polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)...
