6. Bodily aware soft robots: integration of proprioceptive and exteroceptive sensors

Author

Subjects
Computer Science - Robotics
Abstract

Being aware of our body has great importance in our everyday life. This is the reason why we know how to move in a dark room or to grasp a complex object. These skills are important for robots as well, however, robotic bodily awareness is still an unsolved problem. In this paper we present a novel method to implement bodily awareness in soft robots by the integration of exteroceptive and proprioceptive sensors. We use a combination of a stacked convolutional autoencoder and a recurrent neural network to map internal sensory signals to visual information. As a result, the simulated soft robot can learn to \textit{imagine} its motion even when its visual sensor is not available.

11. Exploiting short-term memory in soft body dynamics as a computational resource

Abstract

Soft materials are not only highly deformable but they also possess rich and diverse body dynamics. Soft body dynamics exhibit a variety of properties, including nonlinearity, elasticity, and potentially infinitely many degrees of freedom. Here we demonstrate that such soft body dynamics can be employed to conduct certain types of computation. Using body dynamics generated from a soft silicone arm, we show that they can be exploited to emulate functions that require memory and to embed robust closed-loop control into the arm. Our results suggest that soft body dynamics have a short-term memory and can serve as a computational resource. This finding paves the way toward exploiting passive body dynamics for control of a large class of underactuated systems., Comment: 22 pages, 11 figures; email address corrected

41. Nonlinear dynamics of a synthetic spider web

Author

Garrad, Martin S, Renson, Ludovic, and Hauser, Helmut

Abstract

Spiders dedicate a significant amount of energy and a variety of different types of silk to build their webs. Therefore, it has been speculated that spider webs are more than just simple traps. Spider web are highly complex mechanical structures that might act also as mechanical filters that significantly enhance and extend the sensory capabilities of spiders,enabling them to identify and localise preys and predators. This paper experimentally investigates the dynamic behaviour of a synthetic, 3D-printed spider web to identity general morphological features that can contribute to this filtering capability. First results show, even a simple, artificial web exhibits a wide range of complex dynamic behaviours such as sub- and super-harmonic interactions

47. NeatSkin:A Discrete Impedance Tomography Skin Sensor

Author

Judd, Euan J K, Digumarti, Krishna Manaswi, Rossiter, Jonathan M, and Hauser, Helmut

Subjects
machine learning, impedance tomography, soft robot, skin sensor
Abstract

In this paper we present NeatSkin, a novel artificial skin sensor based on electrical impedance tomography. The key feature is a discrete network of fluidic channels which is used to infer the location of touch. Change in resistance of the conductive fluid within these channels during deformation is used to construct sensitivity maps. We present a method to simulate touch using this unique network-based, low output dimensionality approach. The efficacy is demonstrated by fabricating a NeatSkin sensor. This paves the way for the development of more complex channel networks and a higher resolution soft skin sensor with potential applications in soft robotics, wearable devices and safe human-robot interaction.
