Liquid Crystalline Elastomers in Soft Robotics: Assessing Promise and Limitations

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Liquid crystalline elastomers (LCEs) are programmable soft materials that undergo large, anisotropic deformation in response to external stimuli. Their molecular alignment encodes directional actuation in a monolithic structure, making them long‐standing candidates for soft robotic systems.

Distributed Micropneumatic Sensors for Soft Robots to Detect Touch and Pose

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Soft robots need integrated touch and pose sensing for safe and reliable operation. This work presents a three‐fingered soft gripper with 18 micropneumatic sensors made from the same materials as its pneumatic actuators. By measuring airflow resistance changes in deforming microchannels of the sensors, finger pose and contact are detected, enabling ...
