AAAI 2026technical

Humans possess a remarkable ability to react to unpredictable perturbations through immediate mechanical responses, which harness the visco-elastic properties of muscles to maintain balance. Inspired by this behavior, we propose a novel design of a robotic leg utilizing fibre jamming. The research h

Jammkle: Fibre jamming 3D printed multi-material tendons and their application in a robotic ankle

Joshua Pinskier, James Brett, Lauren Hanson, Katrina Lo Surdo, David Howard

IROS 2022poster

Fibre jamming is a new and understudied soft robotic mechanism that has previously found success in stiffness-tunable arms and fingers. However, to date researchers have not fully taken advantage of the freedom offered by contemporary fabrication techniques including multi-material 3D printing in th…
