Human-centered Control of a Growing Soft Robot for Object Manipulation
We present a user-friendly interface to teleoperate a soft robot manipulator
in a complex environment. Key components of the system include a manipulator
with a grasping end-effector that grows via tip eversion, gesture-based
control, and haptic display to the operator for feedback and guidance. In the
initial work, the operator uses the soft robot to build a tower of blocks, and
future works will extend this to shared autonomy scenarios in which the human
operator and robot intelligence are both necessary for task completion
