Harnessing Nonuniform Pressure Distributions in Soft Robotic Actuators. (20th February 2023) - Matia, Yoav
Abstract : Fluid‐Driven Elastomer Actuators In article number 2200330, Kirstin H. Petersen and co‐workers present fluidic actuators in which viscous fluids propagate in a scalable framework manifesting control of the structure by the structure, generating pressure distributions within each actuator ‐ achieving interchangeable, spatio‐temporal motions with a single inlet. Through theory and experiments, the article introduces the foundation of a design methodology, unlocking significantly more capable and competitive soft robots.
