Abstract:
\n
Over the past decade\, the field of “s oft robotics” has established itself as uniquely suited for applications t hat would be difficult or impossible to realize using traditional\, rigid- bodied robots. The reliance on compliant materials that are often actuate d by fluidic (e.g.\, hydraulic or pneumatic) means presents a num ber of inherent benefits for soft robots\, particularly in terms of safety for human-robot interactions and adaptability for manipulating complex an d/or delicate objects. Unfortunately\, progress has been impeded by broad challenges associated with controlling the underlying fluidics of such sy stems. In this seminar\, Prof. Ryan D. Sochol will discuss how his Bioinspired Advanced Manufacturing (BAM) Labo ratory is leveraging the capabilities of two alternative types of additive manufacturing (or “three-dimensional (3D) printing”) technologie s to address these critical barriers. Specifically\, Prof. Sochol will de scribe his lab’s recent strategies for using the 3D nanoprinting approach\ , “Two-Photon Direct Laser Writing”\, and the inkjet 3D printing technique \, “PolyJet 3D Printing”\, to engineer soft robotic systems that comprise integrated fluidic circuitry… including a soft robotic “hand” that plays N intendo.
