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 Actuators for Rehabilitation [PDF]
Actuators, 2014 Pneumatic artificial muscles are pneumatic devices with practical and various applications as common actuators. They, as human muscles, work in agonistic-antagonistic way, giving a traction force only when supplied by compressed air. The state of the art of soft pneumatic actuators is here analyzed: different models of pneumatic muscles are considered ...
