From Soft Sculpture to Soft Robotics: Retracing a Physical Aesthetics of Bio-Morphic Softness
Soft robotics has in the past decade emerged as a growing subfield of technical robotics research, distinguishable by its bio-inspired design strategies, interest in morphological computation, and interdisciplinary combination ...
Prolegomena for a Transdisciplinary Investigation Into the Materialities of Soft Systems
(Universidad de Caldas, 2017-06)
This paper presents exploratory research on the materiality, aesthetics and ecological potential of soft robots. Within the still emergent paradigm of soft robotics research, bio-inspiration is often hailed as being of ...
Leveraging Morphological Computation for Expressive Movement Generation in a Soft Robotic Artwork
(ACM, 2017-06)
The paper describes the design of a cephalopod-inspired soft robot that is part of the art installation Tales of C (2017). Two soft modules for movement are presented, one actuated by a servo motor the other with pneumatics. ...
