Over the past decade, soft robotics have found its way into many applications that span across different length scales. Studies have since been done in respective research fields to characterize soft robots and understand their actuation process. On the nano to micro scale, soft robots are used to s
In this work, we propose a novel type of 3D-printed soft pneumatic actuator that allows geometry-based customization of bending modalities. While motion in the 3-D space has been achieved for several types of soft actuators, only 2-D bending has been previously modeled and characterized within the s
This paper presents a soft robotic glove designed to assist individuals with functional grasp pathologies in performing activities of daily living. The glove utilizes soft fabric-regulated pneumatic actuators that are low-profile and require lower pressure than previously developed actuators. They a
