Bioinspired 3D Printable Soft Vacuum Actuators for Locomotion Robots, Grippers and Artificial Muscles.
Soft robotics
Jul 24, 2018
Continued technological progress in robotic systems has led to more applications where robots and humans operate in close proximity and even physical contact in some cases. Soft robots, which are made of highly compliant and deformable materials, pro...
Soft Biomimetic Fish Robot Made of Dielectric Elastomer Actuators.
Soft robotics
Jun 29, 2018
This article presents the design, fabrication, and characterization of a soft biomimetic robotic fish based on dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) that swims by body and/or caudal fin (BCF) propulsion. BCF is a promising locomotion mechanism that p...
Modeling of dielectric elastomer oscillators for soft biomimetic applications.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Jun 26, 2018
Biomimetic, entirely soft robots with animal-like behavior and integrated artificial nervous systems will open up totally new perspectives and applications. However, until now, most presented studies on soft robots were limited to only partly soft de...
Design and analysis of coiled fiber reinforced soft pneumatic actuator.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Apr 18, 2018
Fiber reinforced elastomeric enclosures (FREEs) are soft pneumatic actuators that can contract and generate forces upon pressurization. Typical engineering applications utilize FREEs in their straight cylindrical configuration and derive actuation di...
Infrared actuation-induced simultaneous reconfiguration of surface color and morphology for soft robotics.
Scientific reports
Dec 13, 2017
Cephalopods, such as cuttlefish, demonstrate remarkable adaptability to the coloration and texture of their surroundings by modulating their skin color and surface morphology simultaneously, for the purpose of adaptive camouflage and signal communica...
4D Printed Actuators with Soft-Robotic Functions.
Macromolecular rapid communications
Dec 6, 2017
Soft matter elements undergoing programed, reversible shape change can contribute to fundamental advance in areas such as optics, medicine, microfluidics, and robotics. Crosslinked liquid crystalline polymers have demonstrated huge potential to imple...
Soft Dielectric Elastomer Oscillators Driving Bioinspired Robots.
Soft robotics
Jun 21, 2017
Entirely soft robots with animal-like behavior and integrated artificial nervous systems will open up totally new perspectives and applications. To produce them, we must integrate control and actuation in the same soft structure. Soft actuators (e.g....
A Soft Gripper with Rigidity Tunable Elastomer Strips as Ligaments.
Soft robotics
Jun 16, 2017
Like their natural counterparts, soft bioinspired robots capable of actively tuning their mechanical rigidity can rapidly transition between a broad range of motor tasks-from lifting heavy loads to dexterous manipulation of delicate objects. Reversib...
Arthrobots.
Soft robotics
May 24, 2017
This article describes a class of robots-"arthrobots"-inspired, in part, by the musculoskeletal system of arthropods (spiders and insects, inter alia). Arthrobots combine mechanical compliance, lightweight and simple construction, and inexpensive yet...
Undulatory Swimming Performance and Body Stiffness Modulation in a Soft Robotic Fish-Inspired Physical Model.
Soft robotics
May 16, 2017
Undulatory motion of the body is the dominant mode of locomotion in fishes, and numerous studies of body kinematics and muscle activity patterns have provided insights into the mechanics of swimming. However, it has not been possible to investigate h...
