Design and Stiffness Analysis of a Bio-Inspired Soft Actuator with Bi-Direction Tunable Stiffness Property

IROS 2023poster

Modulating the stiffness of soft actuators is crucial for improving the efficiency of interaction with the environment. However, current stiffness modulation mechanisms are hard to achieve high lateral stiffness and a wide range of bending stiffness simultaneously. Here, we draw inspiration from the…
