Good Vibrations: A Vibration Damping Setpoint Controller for Continuum Robots
In this paper, we focus on a class of robotic manipulators that utilize continuous backbone structures. Such manipulators, known as “continuum” robots, exhibit behavior similar to tentacles, trunks, and snakes. Specifically, we have previously discussed some of the mechanical and kinematic details of the Clemson “Tentacle Manipulator.” This work examines the dynamic characteristics of this mani...
متن کامل"Soft" Continuum Robots - the Interaction of Continuous and Discrete Elements
In this paper, we examine key issues underlying the design and operation of “soft” robots featuring continuous body (“continuum”) elements. We contrast continuum and continuum-like robots created to date with their counterparts in the natural world. It is observed that natural continuum locomotors or manipulators almost invariably rely on hard/discrete elements (in their structure and/or ...
متن کاملVocal development through morphological computation
The vocal behavior of infants changes dramatically during early life. Whether or not such a change results from the growth of the body during development-as opposed to solely neural changes-has rarely been investigated. In this study of vocal development in marmoset monkeys, we tested the putative causal relationship between bodily growth and vocal development. During the first two months of li...
متن کاملA Multi-soft-body Dynamic Model for Underwater Soft Robots
We present a unified formulation for describing the dynamics of a new class of aquatic multi-body soft robots. This formulation accounts for the continuum hyperelastic nature of the vehicles and for the interaction with the dense fluid across which they dwell. We start by introducing the highly unconventional design concept of a soft underwater vehicle inspired by the octopus capable of swimmin...
متن کاملOrganising Computation through Dynamic Grouping
There are a range of abstractions used for both modelling and programming of modern computational systems. While these abstractions may have been devised for specific purposes, the variety of options is often confusing, with development and programming techniques often being distinct. The aim of this chapter is two-fold. First, we bring together a number of these abstractions into one, general,...
