项目摘要

This project will create knowledge to realize a new class of active soft robots that can dynamically evolve three-dimensional soft protuberances from a nominally planar surface. These moving shapes will be capable of gently and safely positioning and manipulating heavy but delicate objects that are resting on the surface. Soft robots are ideal for interactions with humans because they safely deform upon contact, much as biological soft tissue does. This project will enable active soft robotic surfaces able to track and manipulate human-sized objects in three-dimensional space without high contact forces. In 2018 patient handling injuries accounted for 25% of healthcare-related worker's comp claims and back injuries to workers cost the US healthcare industry $8.6 billion. The results of this project will advance the goal of assisting the safe and comfortable handling of patients, to enhance the quality of healthcare and reduce injuries in the nursing workforce. By preventing injury and reducing nurses' work load this project will address the grand challenge of providing care to our aging population. The project will promote an educational program to build the cross-disciplinary literacy of engineering and nursing students, by giving each experience in the other?s work domain and deepening their understanding of current healthcare capabilities and challenges.This research project will make fundamental advances to soft robotic capabilities through three innovations: 1. electrically addressable polymers that modulate the stiffness of inflated elastomers, 2. real-time shape sensing, contact detection, and shape prediction using Gaussian curvature, and 3. a hierarchical control policy that, rather than attempting precise control of the deformable robot, achieves desired motion of the manipulated object through contact points. This project builds from strengths of the assembled team to overcome fundamental challenges in soft robotics research, including shape-controlled actuation with high strain and large forces, soft robotic sensing and proprioception, modeling and estimating the infinite dimensional state of stretchable materials while interacting with external objects, and control strategies to manipulate external objects with continuous, compliant, and re-configurable elastomeric surfaces.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

这个项目将创造知识，实现一类新的主动软机器人，可以动态地从名义上的平面表面演变三维软突起。这些移动的形状将能够轻轻地，安全地定位和操纵沉重但微妙的物体，这些物体放在表面上。软机器人是与人类互动的理想选择，因为它们在接触时会安全变形，就像生物软组织一样。该项目将使主动软机器人表面能够在三维空间中跟踪和操纵人类大小的物体，而无需高接触力。2018年，患者处理伤害占与医疗保健相关的工人赔偿索赔的25%，工人背部受伤使美国医疗保健行业损失了86亿美元。该项目的结果将推进协助安全舒适地处理患者的目标，以提高医疗保健质量并减少护理人员的伤害。通过防止伤害和减少护士的工作量，该项目将解决为我们的老龄化人口提供护理的巨大挑战。该项目将促进教育计划，以建立工程和护理专业学生的跨学科素养，通过给每一个经验，在其他？该研究项目将通过三项创新，使软机器人的能力取得根本性的进步：1.调节膨胀弹性体的刚度的电可寻址聚合物，2.实时形状感测、接触检测和使用高斯曲率的形状预测，以及3.分层控制策略，其不是试图精确控制可变形机器人，而是通过接触点实现被操纵物体的期望运动。该项目建立在组装团队的优势，以克服软机器人研究中的基本挑战，包括高应变和大力的形状控制驱动，软机器人传感和本体感受，建模和估计可拉伸材料的无限维状态，同时与外部物体相互作用，以及控制策略，以连续，顺应，该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
