Stiffness Control of Deformable Robots Using Finite Element Modeling M. Koehler, A.M. Okamura and C. Duriez Abstract. Due to the complexity of modeling deformable materials and infinite degrees of freedom, the rich background of rigid robot control has not been transferred to soft robots. Thus, most model-based control techniques developed…
Short description This project aims the design improvement of soft actuators driven by cables or pneumatics. The idea is to start from a series of existing prototypes and refine their design in order to improve their performances and integration within a robot. As motion in this kind of robots is…
Short description This internship proposal concerns students from second year of master interested by software development and robotics. It will be asked to implement a link between the framework SOFA which is used by the team to model and simulate the deformable robots in their environment and Matlab which is…
Short description This internship proposal concerns students from first or second year of master interested on control solution developements. The intern will be asked to design control solutions of actuators for the specific needs of soft robots. This solution will be implemented on a real robot using an embeded calculator…
Short description This internship proposal concerns students from second year of master degree, interested in a research internship, with possibility of continuing the work done by a Phd. During this internship it is asked to implement a python library for interactive procedural geometric modeling for soft-robots design. The specificity of…
