Design and control of a soft robotic arm

This dissertation presents a novel soft robotic material-based gripper which is controlled by tendon driven system. One of significant characteristic of the gripper is stiffness changing ability. The soft robotic material constructs a kind of structured fabric which looks like chain mail. In unva...
