Tiled Auxetic Cylinders for Soft Robots [PDF]
2019 2nd IEEE International Conference on Soft Robotics (RoboSoft), 2019 Compliant structures allow robots to overcome environmental challenges by deforming and conforming their bodies. In this paper, we investigate auxetic structures as a means of achieving this compliance for soft robots. Taking a tiling based approach, we fabricate 3D printed cylindrical auxetic structures to create tiled auxetic cylinders (TACs).
