BioMORF: A Soft Robotic Skin to Increase Biomorphism and Enable Nonverbal Communication Open
In this work, we introduce a biomorphic soft robotic skin for a hexapod robot platform and a Central Pattern Generator (CPG) based neural controller to generate respiratory-like motions on the skin. The design enables visio-haptic nonverba…
