FiN‐Kiri: Fabric‐Based Inflatable Kirigami Actuator for Multimodal Soft Robots

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This study introduces a type of inflatable fabric‐based kirigami actuator capable of performing bending motion. The actuator is utilized as soft grippers, a crawling robot and a swimming robot. The crawling robot demonstrated extraordinary motion capabilities, such as moving forward, turning and navigating a narrow tunnel.

Pneumatics established : Francis Hauksbee and the air-pump

, 2006
This thesis is about the English air-pump and the instrument-maker Francis Hauksbee (1660-1713). I focus on the development, practice, and various applications of his air-pumps in the period from 1700 to 1745, and show how this led to establishing ...
