  • Design and development of a soft gripper system for difficult-to-handle food items 
    Hashanjana, L; Senanayaka, P; Madushan, I; Himaruwan, HDS; Kulasekera, AL; Dassanayake, PC [Conference-Full-text]
    There are many food products or handling operations, such as grasping food materials with less thickness and extremely delicate, which cannot be performed using existing soft grippers. As a result, these operations are ...
  • Design and experimental characterization of a soft bending actuator for morphing aerofoils 
    De Silva, K; Maduranga, S; Chamika, V; De Silva, L; Kulasekera, AL; Samaraweera, N; Jayaweera, ND [Conference-Full-text]
    This paper presents the design, simulation, and experimental validation of a vacuum-driven, soft-bending actuator for morphing wing development for small fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The actuator uses an ...
  • Development of a Biomimetic Soft Robotic Knee Joint 
    Arachchige, UCD; Madusanka, MSG; Punsara, NAC; Kulasekera, AL; Gopura, RARC [Conference-Full-text]
    The knee joint is a complex joint in the human body that plays a significant role in locomotion activities in daily living. The development of robot legs and wearable devices that can perform human-like motions is limited ...
  • Experimental performance characterization of an underwater growing robot 
    Tennakoon, KE; Subasingha, GS; Sewwandhi, JA; Kulasekera, AL; Dassanayake, PC [Conference-Full-text]
    Soft-growing robots are an emerging field of robots that perform their growth through tip extension using a fluid flow-driven system while the robot base is stationary. With growth without relative motion with the ...
  • Systems engineering-based approach for the development of a strawberry harvesting robot 
    Gamage, K; Arachchige, JK; Siriwardhana, S; Kulasekera, AL; Dassanayake, P [Conference-Full-text]
    Strawberry harvesting is a challenging task due to the delicate nature of the fruit and the need for careful handling to preserve its quality. This research paper focuses on the application of systems engineering in the ...
