Nature has always inspired human achievements in industry, and biomimetics is
increasingly being applied in fluid power technology. Arachnida use hydraulic forces, rather …

The paper deals with the finite bending analysis of transversely isotropic hyperelastic
slender beams made of a neo-Hookean material with longitudinal voids. The fully nonlinear …

This paper describes the design of a bionic soft exoskeleton and demonstrates its feasibility
for assisting the expectoration function rehabilitation of patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) …

A theoretical model concerning the finite bending of a prismatic hyperelastic solid has been
recently proposed. Such a model provides the 3D kinematics and the stress field, taking into …

Artificial muscle actuator has been devoted to replicate the function of biological muscles,
playing an important part of an emerging field at inter-section of bionic, mechanical, and …

Soft fiber-reinforced actuators have demonstrated significant potential across various
robotics applications. However, the actuation motion in these actuators is typically limited to …

We proposed the soft flexible wire-driven finger mechanism with the soft skin and the multi-
joint skeletal structure using two coil springs. The multi-joint skeletal structure is mainly …

The large bending of beams made with complex materials finds application in many
emerging fields. To describe the nonlinear behavior of these complex materials such as …

This paper proposes a soft robotic gripper with sensory feedback where the gripper fingers
are fabricated using latex by coagulant dipping process. Proposed gripper can be used to …

A ferrrofluid based soft actuator which shows various vertical motions has been introduced
for the first time in this paper. The flexibility as well as the potential of the prototype designed …
