A Fully Pneumatic Soft Manipulator With Proximally Generated, Body-Transmitted Roll for Closed-Loop 6-DoF Pose Regulation
Most soft manipulators lack independently controllable roll about the end-effector’s longitudinal axis, leaving the complete pose unregulated. Roll can instead be generated at the arm base and transmitted through the deformable body, avoiding both a distal rotary actuator and a routed transmission element—a route so fa...
