Soft robotic gripper systems that can safely and nondestructively collect biological and artifact samples and perform deep-sea manipulation tasks are essential for deep-sea science and engineering applications. In this article, we implement a soft robotic gripper composed of nitinol-embedded soft fingers and an in situ wearable mechanism, which allows the soft gripper to be put … [Read more...] about A Nitinol-Embedded Wearable Soft Robotic Gripper for Deep-Sea Manipulation: A Wearable Device for Deep-Sea Delicate Operation

Bionic Underwater Vehicle: A Data-Driven Disturbance Rejection Control Framework
Disturbances caused by unknown dynamics and environmental factors render the automatic control of underwater vehicles extremely challenging. These effects are complex, time varying, and difficult to model accurately, leading to possible instability in the control process. This article focuses on the disturbance rejection problem of an underactuated bionic underwater vehicle … [Read more...] about Bionic Underwater Vehicle: A Data-Driven Disturbance Rejection Control Framework
