Outline of Research at the Start

In this proposal, our aim is to tackle ROBIN (ROtation-based Buckling Instability aNalysis) of volumetric body covered with continuous soft, flexible skin under simple rotations, and apply to soft robotics field. We will clarify the correlation between the buckling states of soft skin with respect to rotating actions, considering nonlinear deformation, self- contact issue, and external interaction stimuli, and an optimization pipeline of ROBIN-based structure. Finally, we implement ROBIN design philosophy to actual soft, flexible robotic mechanisms, such as robotic gripper, pulsation pump.
