Soft Robot based on Honeycomb Pneumatic Networks

The SoftRobot group of Multi-agent System Lab, is focused on making better soft manipulators. Imitating the plants, our team make a pneumatic soft manipulator with structure of Honeycomb PneuNet(HPN). By modifying the movement of nature flexible organisms and using a model-free machine learning method, we aim to develop a suitable control method for the robot, which can suit the different environments and grasp various objects.

*human* "hey mr robot can you hand me that hammer over there?"
*Robot* "no problem happy to help"
30 long seconds pass
*Human* "th.... tha.. thank you"
*Robot* "dont worry, ill be here to hand all your tools"

nice job，amazing！

Very cool design! But why pneumatic instead of hydraulic? Weight I figure? But hydraulic should be much stronger and probably more precise.
It would be cool to have something like 3D printed valves and actuators to control a large array of chambers. Maybe embed solenoids and pressure sensors and wires. So you'd only need one pressure line and one release line. Or maybe that is not practical.

Plot twist: the engineer is an elephant.

hola puedes decirme donde esta la publicacion es que encontre otro pense que era el mismo new design of cellular soft continuum manipulator based on beehive

[@riddickli2382]

what are the advantages of this design compared with some other pneumatic soft arm

[@tiaotiao2337]

Load bearing capacity.

I was thinking precision maybe😕?

Does anyone know name of the sound track ?
