Abstract: The balance of inverted pendulum on inclined surfaces is the precursor to their control in unstructured environments. Researchers have devised control algorithms with feedback from contact (encoders—placed at the pendulum ...

Abstract: The deformability of soft material robots provides them with the ability to transform between complex shapes and forms. This unique ability facilitates Modular Soft Robots (MSoRos) to assemble and reconfigure into different ...

Abstract: The field of tensegrity faces challenges in design to facilitate efficient fabrication, and modeling due to the antagonistic nature of tension and compression elements. The research presents design methodology, and modeling ...

Abstract: Optical and magnetic encoders are widely used to measure joint angles. These sensors are required to be installed at the axes of rotation (joint centers). However, microelectromechanical system (MEMS) accelerometer and ...
