Near-contact Grasping Strategies: Improve Robotic Grasping from Awkward Poses with Deliberate Finger Motion

Creator:

Ong, Yi Herng

Abstract:

As robots are becoming more relevant to our lives, they are still having hard time accomplishing simple tasks such as picking and lifting. Problems that include environmental constraints, pose uncertainties and hardware noises restrain robots for grasping an object successfully from a perceivable environment. Many have looked into finding best...

Direct 3D Printing of Silicone Elastomer Soft Robots without Support

Creator:

Morrow, John F.

Abstract:

Soft robotics utilizes compliant materials (such as rubber) to make robots that are flexible and safe around humans, however these materials present many practical manufacturing challenges. Current fabrication methods use molding techniques which limits the soft robot designs which could be fabricated and impacts part consistency. This defense introduces a...

Design and Initial Analysis of a Wearable Device for Anxiety Management

Creator:

Brown, Hannah E.

Abstract:

Deep pressure therapy (DPT) is a method of anxiety relief that uses pressure sensations to lower the stress response produced in the brain, and functions in a manner similar to a hug. Heavily weighted blankets and weighted vests are most commonly used to apply DPT, though recent work has shown...
