Torsional Pneumatic Actuator Based on Pre-Twisted Pneumatic Tubes for Soft Robotic Manipulators

IEEE/ASME transactions on mechatronics, 2023
The human forearm produces torsional motions that are essential in daily activities such as opening doors or containers. It has a large range of motion (ROM), can produce large torques, can move bidirectionally, and can stiffen at will. Implementing such

Design and Characterization of a Bellows-Driven Soft Pneumatic Actuator

IEEE/ASME transactions on mechatronics, 2021
The soft robotics field investigates biological bodies’ movements to develop soft actuation with similar behavior seen in nature. The skeletal muscles’ movements are vastly mimicked in soft actuators; however, the contractions of smooth muscles are ...

A Versatile Pneumatic Actuator Based on Scissor Mechanisms: Design, Modeling, and Experiments

IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, 2021
A new versatile pneumatic actuator called a scissor-mechanism-based vacuum powered artificial muscle (SMVAM) is proposed in this letter. The actuator is composed of a soft airtight skin and a scissor structural skeleton, and based on the types of scissor

A Biologically Inspired Ring-Shaped Soft Pneumatic Actuator for Large Deformations

Soft Robotics, 2021
Biomimicry of the stomach's peristaltic contractions can be challenging in the design, modeling, and control of a soft actuator. The mimicking of organ contractions advances our knowledge of the digestive system and analyzes the biological behavior by ...
