Control Strategies for Soft Robot Systems

This review covers the potential control systems for soft robotics–which are difficult to control due to their infinite degrees of freedom–including open-loop control (predicting how the robot will react to movement instructions), closed-loop control (using sensors to track the movement of the robot), and autonomous control (letting the robot control itself using a “brain”).

Digital light processing of liquid crystal elastomers for self-sensing artificial muscles

This paper evaluates liquid crystal elastomer (LCE) material for the purpose of creating artificial muscles, specifically focusing on replicating natural muscle tissue’s ability to use sensing feedback, which LCEs are able to somewhat do by way of digital light processing thermal actuation.
