Continuum and soft robots can leverage complex actuator shapes to take on useful shapes while actuating only a few of their many degrees of freedom. Continuum robots that also grow increase the range of potential shapes that can be actuated and enabl

In this article consider a class of robotic systems composed of high-elongation linear actuators connected at universal joints. We derive the differential kinematics of such robots, and show that any instantaneous velocity of the nodes can be achieve

Haptic shape displays provide compelling touch interactions by allowing users to freely explore a rendered surface. However, these displays are currently limited to 2.5-D surfaces due to the space requirements of their actuation. Building on previous

Tip-extending soft robots that "grow" via pneumatic eversion of their body material have demonstrated applications in exploration of cluttered environments. During growth, the motion and force of the robot tip can be controlled in three degrees of fr

Soft isoperimetric truss robots have demonstrated an ability to grasp and manipulate objects using the members of their structure. The compliance of the members affords large contact areas with even force distribution, allowing for successful graspin

Resistor–capacitor (RC) response time models for pressurizing and depressurizing a pneumatic capacitor (mass accumulator) through a resistor (flow restriction) comprise a framework to systematically analyze complex fluidic circuits. A model for pne

For robots to be useful for real-world applications, they must be safe around humans, be adaptable to their environment, and operate in an untethered manner. Soft robots could potentially meet these requirements; however, existing soft robotic archit

We present a class of pneumatic haptic devices that use the input motion from a user to pump fluid in a closed pneumatic circuit, meaning that the pneumatic devices require no external pressure supply. The user is coupled to a pneumatic actuator in o

We present a pneumatic actuator capable of changing length by 1000%, applying both pushing and pulling forces, and independently modulating its length and stiffness. These characteristics are enabled by individually addressable internal and external

Continuum and soft robots can leverage routed actuation schemes to take on useful shapes with few actuated degrees of freedom. The addition of vine-like growth to soft continuum robots opens up possibilities for creating deployable structures from co
