A vacuum-driven inclined hexagonal prism soft-rigid hybrid contraction actuator inspired by
Kresling origami pattern and with low driving pressure, high contraction ratio, and fast …

Dexterity is an essential characteristic of pneumatic soft grippers for robust grasping of
objects. However, the traditional pneumatic soft grippers are difficult to grasp objects in a …

Soft actuators are essential to soft robots and can also be used with rigid-bodied robots. This
paper is focused on methods for improving the applicability of origami-inspired soft …

Conventional soft pneumatic actuators (SPAs) are made of soft materials that facilitate safe
interaction and adaptability. In positioning and loading tasks, however, SPAs demonstrate …

Although pneumatic soft crawling robots have made great progress, there are still several
difficulties hindering their practical progress, the most important of which is the insufficient …

In this study, we proposed an origami pump actuator based pneumatic quadruped robot
(OPARO). The robot was constructed with a four-leg system controlled by only two motors …

Soft pneumatic actuators have been explored for endoscopic applications, but challenges in
fabricating complex geometry with desirable dimensions and compliance remain. The …

In the growing field of study known as “soft robotics,“highly adaptable robots are built for soft
interactions by utilizing the acquiescence, and flexibility of soft structures. The substantial …

Fluidic actuation in soft robots traditionally requires a complex assemblage of pumps,
regulators, valves, and sensors, often resulting in large and bulky support systems. This …

Nowadays, achieving the stable grasping of objects in robotics requires an increased
emphasis on soft interactions. This research introduces a novel gripper design to achieve a …
