Configuration and manipulation of soft robotics for on-orbit servicing

Monday, June 5, 2017 - 09:02 in Mathematics & Economics

Traditional rigid-bodied robots are stiff, with few degrees of freedom, placing limits on many applications. Recently, more engineers are learning from the soft flexibility properties of living beings to advance bionic soft robotics. The main characteristics of soft robots are flexibility, deformability and energy-absorbtion.
