3D Elastomeric Kirigami for Passively Stretchable Fully Soft Vacuum‐Powered Artificial Muscles

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
The creation of purely soft, passively stretchable artificial muscles has long been a hot topic in robotics research. Here, we present a design approach involving the extension of 2D kirigami to 3D elastomeric kirigami structures. In a biomimetic demonstration of the human upper arm, this approach successfully simulated the driving mechanism ...
