(A) Holding a coffee mug; (B and C) grasping a tomato with the palm facing down (B) and the palm facing up (C); (D) shaking a human hand; (E) lateral scanning over surfaces to?detect roughness and shape; and (F) probing the softness of a soft sponge using the waveguide sensor
Most robots achieve grasping and tactile sensing through motorized means, which can be excessively bulky and rigid. A Cornell University group has devised a way for a soft robot to feel its surroundings internally, in much the same way humans do.
A group led by Robert Shepherd, assistant professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering and principal investigator of Organic Robotics Lab, has published a paper describing how stretchable optical waveguides act as curvature, elongation and force sensors in a soft robotic hand.
