Adhesion in soft robotics

Prof. Carmel Majidi, Carnegie Mellon University, USA

Abstract

Because they are elastically deformable, soft robots make contact with surfaces over large areas and can be strongly influenced by adhesive tractions.  In this session, I will introduce mathematical techniques to include the effects of adhesion when examining elastic deformation and quasi-static locomotion of soft robots.  These techniques can also be extended to study the central role of adhesion in wavy electronics and biologically-inspired shear-activated grasping.
