Chemically Driven Oscillating Soft Pneumatic Actuation [PDF]
Soft Robotics, 2023 Pneumatic actuators are widely studied in soft robotics as they are facile, low cost, scalable, and robust and exhibit compliance similar to many systems found in nature. The challenge is to harness high energy density chemical and biochemical reactions that can generate sufficient pneumatic pressure to actuate soft systems in a controlled and ...

Designing Soft Pneumatic Actuators for Thumb Movements [PDF]
IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, 2021 Studies have developed various types of soft robotic gloves for hand rehabilitation in recent years. Most soft actuators achieved a sufficient thumb flexion assist while lacking opposition support, which requires the coordination of thumb flexion and abduction-adduction.

Soft, Rotating Pneumatic Actuator [PDF]
Soft Robotics, 2017 This article describes a soft pneumatic actuator that generates cyclical motion. The actuator consists of several (three, four, or five) chambers (arranged around the circumference of a circle surrounding a central rod) that can be actuated independently using negative pressure (or partial vacuum).

Soft Pneumatic Actuator skin with embedded sensors [PDF]
2014 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, 2014 Soft Pneumatic Actuator skin (SPA-skin) is a novel concept of ultra-thin (< 1 mm) sensor embedded actuators with distributed actuation points that could cover soft bodies. This highly customizable and flexible SPA-skin is ideal for providing proprioceptive sensing by covering pre-existing structures and robots bodies.
