Modelling an acuated large deformation soft continuum robot surface undergoing external forces using a lumped-mass approach (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Habibi, H., Yang, C., Kang, R., Walker, I. D., Godage, I. S., Dong, X., & Branson, D. T. (2018, October). Modelling an acuated large deformation soft continuum robot surface undergoing external forces using a lumped-mass approach. Presented at 2018 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, Madrid, Spain

Precise actuation of continuum surfaces in combination with continuum robotic arms that undergo large deformation is of high interest in soft robotics but of limited model-based study to date. This work develops this area towards enabling the robust...

Flexible robot sealant dispensing cell using RGB-D sensor and off-line programming (2017)
Journal Article
Maiolino, P., Woolley, R., Branson, D. T., Benardos, P., Popov, A. A., & Ratchev, S. (in press). Flexible robot sealant dispensing cell using RGB-D sensor and off-line programming. Robotics and Computer-Integrated Manufacturing, 48, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rcim.2017.04.004

In aerospace manufacture the accurate and robust application of sealant is an integral and challenging part of the manufacturing process that is still performed by human operator. Automation of this process is difficult and not cost effective due to... Read More about Flexible robot sealant dispensing cell using RGB-D sensor and off-line programming.

Dynamics for variable length multisection continuum arms (2015)
Journal Article
Godage, I. S., Medrano-Cerda, G. A., Branson, D. T., Guglielmino, E., & Caldwell, D. G. (2016). Dynamics for variable length multisection continuum arms. International Journal of Robotics Research, 35(6), https://doi.org/10.1177/0278364915596450

Variable length multisection continuum arms are a class of continuum robotic manipulators that generate motion by structural mechanical deformation. Unlike most continuum robots, the sections of these arms do not have (central) supporting flexible ba... Read More about Dynamics for variable length multisection continuum arms.
