Soft Matter, 2017 Thin elastic sheets bend easily and, if they are patterned with cuts, can deform in sophisticated ways. Here we show that carefully tuning the location and arrangement of cuts within thin sheets enables the design of mechanical actuators that scale down ...

Unidirectional Electron-Tunnelling Flexible PDMS Strain Sensor with Aligned Carbon Nanotubes
Sensors, 2023 High-aspect-ratio carbon nanotubes can be directly mixed into polymers to create piezoresistive polymers. Reducing the cross-sensitivity and creating unidirectional sensitive sensors can be achieved by aligning the nanotubes before they are cured in the ...

Smart Tendon Actuated Flexible Actuator [PDF]
Journal of Robotics, 2015 We investigate the kinematic feasibility of a tendon-based flexible parallel platform actuator. Much of the research on tendon-driven Stewart platforms is devoted either to the completely restrained positioning mechanism (CRPM) or to one particular type of the incompletely restrained positioning mechanism (IRPM) where the external force is provided by ...
