Untethered Soft Robots for Future Planetary Explorations?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Soft Robots for Planetary Exploration robots have great potential future planetary exploration due to their high dexterity, adaptability and robustness. In article number 2100106, Chelsea Shan Xian Ng Guo Zhan Lum discuss how the environmental conditions of other planets will hypothetically affect soft robots’ actuation, fabrication, locomotion. It is envisioned that may hold promise help create a paradigm shift explorations.

Harnessing bistability for directional propulsion of untethered, soft robots
In most macro-scale robotics systems , propulsion and controls are enabled through a physical tether or complex on-board electronics and batteries. A tether simplifies the design process but limits the range of motion of the robot, while on-board controls and power supplies are heavy and complicate the design process. Here we present a simple design principle for an untethered, entirely soft, s...
متن کاملA Resilient, Untethered Soft Robot
A pneumatically powered, fully untethered mobile soft robot is described. Composites consisting of silicone elastomer, polyaramid fabric, and hollow glass microspheres were used to fabricate a sufficiently large soft robot to carry the miniature air compressors, battery, valves, and controller needed for autonomous operation. Fabrication techniques were developed to mold a 0.65-meter-long soft ...
متن کاملExplorations in engagement for humans and robots
This paper explores the concept of engagement, the process by which individuals in an interaction start, maintain and end their perceived connection to one another. The paper reports on one aspect of engagement among human interactors—the effects of tracking faces during an interaction. It also provides details for an architecture of a robot that can participate in conversational, collaborative...
متن کاملSoft Components for Soft Robots
Typical robot platforms comprise rigid links with fixed degrees-offreedom, solid blocks of transmission and actuator, and superficial positioning of sensors: they are often optimized for the given design criteria but are unable to execute instantaneous changes to the robot's initial mechanism design. The reallife incidences, however, require robots to face complex situations filled with unprogr...
متن کاملCollective Systems in Space and for Planetary Explorations
In an issue of the Wireless World magazine, back in 1945, A. C. Clarke on a letter to the editor wrote " However, I would like to close by mentioning a possibility of the remote future-perhaps half a century ahead... Three repeater stations, twelve degrees apart in the correct orbit, could give television and microwave coverage to the entire planet. " These words envisioned, before the space er...
