Grasping With a Soft Glove: Intrinsic Impedance Control in Pneumatic Actuators
(The Royal Society, 2017-03)
The interaction of a robotic manipulator with unknown soft objects represents a significant challenge for traditional robotic platforms because of the difficulty in controlling the grasping force between a soft object and ...
Controllable Biomimetic Birdsong
(The Royal Society, 2017-08-02)
Birdsong is the product of the controlled generation of sound embodied in a neuromotor system. From a biophysical perspective, a natural question is that of the difficulty of producing birdsong. To address this, we built ...
On the Growth and Form of Shoots
(The Royal Society, 2017-03-22)
Growing plant stems and shoots exhibit a variety of shapes that embody growth in response to various stimuli. Building on experimental observations, we provide a quantitative biophysical theory for these shapes by accounting ...
