Developing haptic devices with advanced haptic rendering capabilities is challenging due to the limitations in current actuation mechanisms. This paper presents a dual-modal haptic device based on low-cost, AC-driven hydraulically amplified self-healing electrostatic (HASEL) actuators, designed to p
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
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…
