In this letter, a novel soft origami module is proposed to detect multi-directional bending. The module is inspired by the deformability and adaptability of the piezoelectric sensor and origami structure. The detection of applied bending was conducted by the deflection of the piezoelectric sensor, w
Angular motion of soft actuators is important for utilization in robotic systems. In the robots, the angular motion should enable agile movement and a wide range. This study proposes a novel design of a soft electrohydraulic actuator inspired by an accordion with an improved angular deformation rang
Inflatable origami structure has immense potential in realizing fast, customizable, large-deforming, and three-dimensional shape morphing in robotics. In this letter, we developed a new modular origami block for performing reconfigurable shape transformations within fabricated hardware. Along with a
