Complex motions for simple actuators
Posted by Saúl Morales Rodriguéz in category: robotics/AI
Inflatable soft actuators that can change shape with a simple increase in pressure can be powerful, lightweight, and flexible components for soft robotic systems. But there’s a problem: These actuators always deform in the same way upon pressurization.
To enhance the functionality of soft robots, it is important to enable additional and more complex modes of deformation in soft actuators.
