Abstract

Abstract : Stacked Balloon Actuators In article number 2200085, Jacob Rogatinsky, Tommaso Ranzani, and co‐workers introduce a class of soft actuators capable of large deformations despite folding nearly flat when deflated, making them capable to adapt to minimal space conditions without sacrificing the ability to complete dexterous tasks. Such features make them suitable to operate in Complex environments, such as those found in surgical and search‐and‐rescue applications.
