The researchers turned to hydrogels, which are water-rich, jelly-like polymers that respond to temperature and chemicals. But ...

Abstract: This study proposes a universal shape sensing strategy to reconstruct the shape of structures with complex geometries by introducing solid elements into the inverse finite element method ...

Abstract: Tensegrity structures are becoming widely used in robotics, such as continuously bending soft manipulators and mobile robots to explore unknown and uneven environments dynamically.
