Exercise 1: Room Temperature Self-Healing in Soft Pneumatic Robotics: Autonomous Self-Healing in a Diels-Alder Polymer Network
It’s how this new material design can heal at room temperature on it’s own; this opens up a major potential for future applications within prosthetics to recover from severe damage. @ARTICLE{9288989, author={S. {Terryn} and J. {Brancart} and E. {Roels} and G. {Van Assche} and B. {Vanderborght}}, journal={IEEE Robotics Automation Magazine}, title={Room Temperature Self-Healing in Soft

Exercise 1: Biocompatible Soft Robotics
The potential application of soft robotics maneuvering into inaccessible spaces would benefit from the use of biocompatible materials. For example, if it is less economically beneficial to return a soft robot after a “mission” the team that deployed the robot might abandon the robot afterwards. Creating biocompatible soft robots means that these robots can be

Exercise 1: Fabric sensory sleeves
This sensory sleeves interests me because the sensors are screenprinted directly into the fabric sleeve as opposed to attaching a sensor onto clothes, which has less a disruptive effect compared with wearing an additional sensor. @INPROCEEDINGS{7989649, author={M. C. {Yuen} and H. {Tonoyan} and E. L. {White} and M. {Telleria} and R. K. {Kramer}}, booktitle={2017 IEEE

Exercise 1: “Morphing Origami Block for Lightweight Reconfigurable System”
This paper proposes a way for fast and reversible movement for reconfigurable structure through a 3D shape shifting system. It uses shape memory alloy wire actuators to transform and morph multiple origami blocks into diverse shapes. @article{kim_morphing_2020,title = {Morphing Origami Block for Lightweight Reconfigurable System},issn = {1941-0468},doi = {10.1109/TRO.2020.3031248},abstract = {Origami provides a unique tool

exercise 1: “The Octopus as paradigm for soft robotics”
I picked this article because I like biomimicry. I think its interesting to learn from nature and try to make rigid technology more fluid. @INPROCEEDINGS{6677325, author={M. {Cianchetti}}, booktitle={2013 10th International Conference on Ubiquitous Robots and Ambient Intelligence (URAI)}, title={The octopus as paradigm for soft robotics}, year={2013}, volume={}, number={}, pages={515-516}, doi={10.1109/URAI.2013.6677325}}
Soft Robotic Tongue | Academic Literature Search
“A Soft Robotic Tongue–Mechatronic Design and Surface Reconstruction” (Lu, Xu, Li) presents a actuated device mimicking a tongue. I was interested in this article because of the range of complex surface deformations the authors were able to accomplish with just six pressure-controlled air chambers. @ARTICLE{ 8025393, author={ X. {Lu} and W. {Xu} and X. {Li}
