Abstract:
Soft robots have shown the ability to interact with humans or abject in a complicated environment due to their shape-changing properties and high robustness, they have been widely used in manipulators, locomotion robots, and wearable products. As a prototype of Soft Poly Limb (SPL) which can assist the disabled patients to accomplish daily living tasks, a soft robotic arm is built by utilizing the fabric soft continuum actuators in this project, and it includes a pure bending segment and a segment for twisting/contracting/gripping. The main purpose of this project is to perform the basic control of this robotic arm and record the motion of the robotic arm with respective input pressure. Maximum input pressure was defined based on the result of the burst test. In this case, the maximum input pressure for the bending segment and gripping segments are 0.2068Mpa (30psi) and 0.3103Mpa (45 psi).
