Deformable Soft-rigid Hybrid Tank Robot Driven by Origami Twisting Soft Pneumatic Actuators
The champion of “The IEEE RoboSoft Competition 2022 Locomotion Scenario”
Designed the SR-Tank, a revolutionary soft robot utilizing origami twisting soft pneumatic actuators (OT-SPAs) in conjunction with bellows, enabling multidirectional movement on complex terrains and adjustable width. Formulated the kinematic model for OT-SPAs. Developed the pneumatic control and vision system of the robot, facilitating motor-like mobility for the SR-Tank.
