DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF A MULTIMODAL UNDERWATER ROBOT: AN ALL-IN-ONE DRIFTER, GLIDER, AND THRUSTER

Existing underwater robotic platforms are typically designed around a single locomotion modality, such as drifting, gliding, or thruster-driven propulsion, limiting their adaptability across diverse tasks and operating environments. Drifting provides energy-efficient passive transport and is particularly well suited...

FibTac: a fiber-based pneumatic gripper with embodied tactile sensing

Robots rely on tactile sensing to manipulate objects safely and effectively in complex environments, yet most existing tactile sensors remain limited to planar contact sensing and do not tightly integrate perception with physical manipulation. Inspired by animals that use filamentary appendages such as whiskers for sim...
