Active Learning Design: Modeling Force Output for Axisymmetric Soft Pneumatic Actuators

ICRA 2026poster

Soft pneumatic actuators (SPA) made from elastomeric materials can provide large strain and large force. The behavior of locally strain-restricted hyperelastic materials under inflation has been investigated thoroughly for shape reconfiguration, but requires further investigation for trajectories in…

Electroadhesive Clutches for Programmable Shape Morphing of Soft Actuators

IROS 2022poster

Soft robotic actuators are safe and adaptable devices with inherent compliance, which makes them attractive for manipulating delicate and complex objects. Researchers have integrated stiff materials into soft actuators to increase their force capacity and direct their deformation. However, these emb…
