This work proposes a robust unwrapping algorithm for noisy and steep phase maps based on the residue calibrated least-squares method. The proposed calculates calibrates residues in derivative to get noise-free Poisson equation. Moreover, it compensates residuals between wrapped unwrapped iteratively eliminate approximation errors smoothing effect of robustness efficiency are validated by simulated experimentally maps. Compared with other three typical algorithms, has most effective...
Abstract Dielectric elastomer-based crawling robots can utilize a voltage-induced deformation to achieve prescribed movements. Although rich repertoire of have been proposed with various design schemes, developing the logic and unified methodology is hard.

Abstract Crawling robots have elicited much attention in recent years due to their stable and efficient locomotion. In this work, several crawling are developed using two types of soft pneumatic actuators (SPAs), namely, an axial elongation SPA a dual bending SPA. By constraining the deformation elastomeric chamber, SPAs realize prescribed motions, deformations subjected pressures characterized with numerical models. Experiments performed for verification, results show good agreement. The...
Abstract Recently, soft pneumatic actuators (SPAs) have drawn increasing attention due to their ease of fabrication, high customizability, and intrinsic softness.
