New control system teaches soft robots the art of staying safe

Buobe IA context · why it matters

Soft robots sense subtle forces — They can adjust their grip on delicate objects like grapes without causing damage.
Flexibility poses control challenges — Precise motion planning is required to prevent unpredictable forces that could lead to injury or object damage. Fique de olho:
Development of advanced algorithms for force sensing and real-time adjustment will likely improve soft robot safety in various applications.

Imagine having a continuum soft robotic arm bend around a bunch of grapes or broccoli, adjusting its grip in real time as it lifts the object. Unlike traditional rigid robots that generally aim to avoid contact with the environment as much as possible and stay far away from humans for safety...
