  1. 1. Optimal Gait Control of Soft Quadruped Robot by Model-based Reinforcement Learning

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Niu Xuezhi; [2023]
    Keywords : Quadruped Robots; Soft Robotics; Reinforcement Learning; Gait Control; Model-Based Control Optimization; Kvadrupedroboter; Mjukrobotik; Förstärkningsinlärning; Gångkontroll; Optimering av robotkontroll;

    Abstract : Quadruped robots offer distinct advantages in navigating challenging terrains due to their flexible and shock-absorbing characteristics. This flexibility allows them to adapt to uneven surfaces, enhancing their maneuverability. READ MORE

  3. 2. Protein-based hydrogel electrolytes for stretchable Zn-ion batteries

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Laboratoriet för organisk elektronik; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska fakulteten

    Author : Lovisa Byström; [2023]
    Keywords : Hydrogel; gelatin; kappa-carrangeenan; Zn-ion battery; Kemisk biologi; Kemisk biologi;

    Abstract : Stretchable aqueous-based Zn-ion batteries have shown promise as a sustainable and safe energy storage system for wearable electronics used in healthcare, sports, soft robotics, and prosthetics. A battery consists of the active electrode, electrolyte, current collector, and encapsulation. READ MORE

  4. 3. Dynamic Modelling of a Fluidic Muscle with a Comparison of Hysteresis Approaches

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Tess Antonsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Mechatronics; Soft Actuators; Pneumatic Artificial Muscles; Dynamic Modelling; Hysteresis; Maxwell-Slip Model; Generalised Bouc-Wen Model; Mekatronik; Mjuka Ställdon; Pneumatiska Artificiella Muskler; Dynamisk Modellering; Hysteres; Maxwell-Slip Modell; Generaliserad Bouc-Wen Modell;

    Abstract : n recent years, there has been a surge in interest and research into the utilisation of soft actuators within the field of robotics, driven by the novel capabilities of their inherently compliant material. One such actuator is the Pneumatic Artificial Muscle (PAM) which offers a high power-to-mass ratio, compliance, safety, and biological mimicry when compared to their traditional counterparts.

  5. 4. Comparing Four Modelling Methods for the Simulation of a Soft Quadruped Robot

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Karin Lagrelius; [2022]
    Keywords : Soft Robotics; Modelling; Simulation; Lumped-parameter-method; Quadruped; Soft Actuator; Matlab Simulink; Matlab Simscape Multibody; Mjuk robotik; Modellering; Simulering; Klumpparametermetoden; Fyrfota; Mjukt ställdon; Matlab Simulink; Matlab Simscape Multibody;

    Abstract : A soft quadruped robot is being developed at the Department of Machine Design and Department of Production Engineering at KTH. The legs of the robot consist of four continuum actuators that can achieve complex movements. In order to efficiently develop gaits for the robot, reinforcement learning will be used. READ MORE

  6. 5. Inchworm Actuating SoftRobotic Belt

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för materialvetenskap

    Author : Jialun Liu; [2022]
    Keywords : Soft robotics; Pneumatic artificial muscles; Locomotion;

    Abstract :  Soft robotics is an emerging research subject showing great promise for applications where traditional and rigid robotics is limited, for example, creating stroking sensation by using soft robotics. The purpose of this master's thesis project is to convey caress by designing and manufacturing a wearable haptic soft belt with locomotion. READ MORE
