InchIGRAB: An Inchworm-Inspired Guided Retraction and Bending Device for Vine Robots During Colonoscopy

Journal: IEEE/ASME Transactions on Mechatronics

InchIGRAB is a soft robotic colonoscope designed to navigate the entire length of the human colon while minimizing contact and forces on its delicate, soft environment.

PneuSIC Box: Pneumatic Sequential and Independent Control Box for Scalable Demultiplexing

Journal: IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters

PneuSIC Box is a pneumatic demultiplexer, inspired by a music box, that enables independent control of a large number of actuators in a soft robot using just a single pneumatic input.

Hapstick: A Soft Flexible Joystick for Stiffness Rendering via Fiber Jamming

Journal: IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters

Hapstick is a flexible joystick designed to mimic the configuration of a flexible surgical robot, providing haptic feedback to surgeons. This capability is useful for tasks such as identifying cancer tumors.
