Composite Soft Pneumatic Actuators Using 3D Printed Skins

Ajinkya Bhat, Jonathan William Ambrose, Raye Chen-Hua Yeow

RA-L 2023

The development of the field of soft robotics has led to the exploration of novel techniques to manufacture soft actuators. One subset of these- soft pneumatic actuators are conventionally developed from silicone, fabrics, and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). Each of these materials in isolation po

Utilizing Sacrificial Molding for Embedding Motion Controlling Endostructures in Soft Pneumatic Actuators

Ajinkya Bhat, Raye Chen-Hua Yeow

IROS 2020poster

The field of soft robotics has evolved as a domain for developing light, compliant and safe actuators. However, one of the challenges in the field is the lack of repeatable fabrication techniques as well as customizability that restricts the application of soft robots. We present a fabrication techn…
