Fast Thermal Actuators for Soft Robotics.

Soft robotics
Thermal actuation is a common actuation method for soft robots. However, a major limitation is the relatively slow actuation speed. Here we report significant increase in the actuation speed of a bimorph thermal actuator by harnessing the snap-throug...

A soft pneumatic bistable reinforced actuator bioinspired by Venus Flytrap with enhanced grasping capability.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Soft actuators, as an important part of soft robotics, have attracted significant attention due to their inherent compliance, flexibility and safety. However, low capacity in force and load limits their applications. Prestored elastic energy can impr...
