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.
