| Abstract | This BRITE Relaunch award supports research that enables the manufacturing, modeling, and control of fiber-reinforced actuators leveraging advances in additive manufacturing and artificial intelligence, thereby promoting the progress of science, and advancing prosperity and welfare. Fiber-reinforced actuators are common in soft robotics since they closely mimic biological muscles. One challenge with fiber-reinforced actuators is that significant variability can exist between actuators if manufac |
