Control-Oriented Learning for Dynamic Tracking and Stability Analysis of Soft Pneumatic Actuators

Soft pneumatic actuators offer inherent compliance and safe interaction but remain difficult to model and control because of their highly nonlinear, distributed dynamics. We present a control-oriented data-driven modeling and control framework that decomposes actuator behavior into a nonlinear static equilibrium model...

Task-Space Model-Based Control of Pneumatic Soft Actuators

Soft actuators enable dexterous and compliant interaction, but closed-loop task-space control remains challenging due to strong nonlinearities, distributed deformation, and uncertainty in their dynamics. This paper presents a real-time dynamic-model-based task-space feedback and estimation framework based on a non-mini...
