Origami-Inspired Soft Twisting Actuator

Soft Robotics, 2023
Soft actuators have shown great advantages in compliance and morphology matched for manipulation of delicate objects and inspection in a confined space. There is an unmet need for a soft actuator that can provide torsional motion to, for example, enlarge working space and increase degrees of freedom.

Soft haptics using soft actuator and soft sensor

2016 6th IEEE International Conference on Biomedical Robotics and Biomechatronics (BioRob), 2016
In this paper, we presented fabric-based soft tactile actuator and soft sensor. The force characterization result indicates that the actuator is able to produce force up to about 2.20(±0.017)N, when it is supplied with 80kPa of pressurized air. Hence it is capable of producing sufficient amount of force, which surpasses the human's haptic perception ...

A Bioinspired Soft Actuated Material

Advanced Materials, 2013
A class of soft actuated materials that can achieve lifelike motion is presented. By embedding pneumatic actuators in a soft material inspired by a biological muscle fibril architecture, and developing a simple finite element simulation of the same, tunable biomimetic motion can be achieved with fully soft structures, exemplified here by an active left
