Our second day presenting our pneumatically actuated soft tissue stiffness sensor at @ICLHamlynRobots Symposium #HSMR24. More info at https://t.co/gKfXceWUhz

[Helge Wurdemann @H_Wurdemann]

The idea emerged from Dr @AngelaFifi's PhD supervised by Prof. @KasparAlthoefer, presented at conferences such as @ieee_ras_icra (https://t.co/56ozPnrkCp), @IEEEorg EMBC (https://t.co/GWpHhvvVIE) & published in @MDPIOpenAccess (https://t.co/PTntT2lIvI, IF: 3.9). @Kings_CoRe

During his PhD, @Duncanr8_MechE worked on creating a sensor with a soft tip in collaboration with Prof. Homer-V. & Dr @Sariadela_abad. The softness of the sensor tip can be changed by internal air pressure. Visual measurement of the tip deformation allows soft stiffness analysis.

@ieeeras #ICRA is the @IEEEorg's flagship event of the #robotics and #automation research community. With more than 6000 attendees overall, #ICRA2023 has broken all previous records. This clearly underlines the ever-growing significance and impact of IEEE RAS ICRA.

[Helge Wurdemann @H_Wurdemann]

"Following the conference’s #motto “Embracing the future: Making robots for humans”, the community continues to push the boundaries of knowledge, inspire one another, & work together to shape a better world.", says #ICRA2023 General Chair, Prof. @KasparAlthoefer. @eu_Robotics

Latest @Sage_Publishing #IJRR paper on #stiffness modelling of #SoftRobots using Lie theory by @Jialei_Shi, @AzadehShariati, @Sariadela_abad, Y. Liu, J.S. Dai, @H_Wurdemann - collaboration btw @ucl @uclmecheng @uclrobotics @KingsCollegeLon @SUSTechSZ. https://t.co/ypYlkT1wnq

[Helge Wurdemann @H_Wurdemann]

Our Lie theory-based modelling framework is capable of configuration-dependent stiffness modelling & analysis at different static robot configurations from forward kinematics & considers nonlinear responses resulting from large longitudinal deformations. https://t.co/ypYlkT1wnq

[Helge Wurdemann @H_Wurdemann]

Our modeling framework can thoroughly reveal the compliance distribution, & for the first time, we achieve a detailed configuration-dependent compliance/stiffness modelling & analysis for extensible fluidic-driven continuum robots. https://t.co/ypYlkT1wnq @Jialei_Shi @SoftHaptics

[Helge Wurdemann @H_Wurdemann]

We validate computational results compared to experiments, using soft manipulators made of one and two robotic segments. https://t.co/ypYlkT1wnq @Jialei_Shi @SoftHaptics @uclrobotics @uclmecheng @STIFF_FLOP

#Sensing is crucial for closed-loop #control in #softrobotics. In our #ICRA2023 paper, we show a roughness tuning strategy for the #fabrication of multi-modal #soft optical #sensors with dual functionality of shape sensing and contact recognition. https://t.co/x1xbfjig8E
