Robots benefit from sensory information to coordinate body movement, gain robustness against perturbations, and transit between different modes to adapt to various terrains. However, few amphibious robots can sense interactions with both terrestrial and aquatic environments. In this paper, we presen…
Soft actuators with a function of variable stiffness are beneficial to the improvement of the adaptability of robots, expanding the application areas and environments. We propose a tendon-driven soft bending actuator that can change its stiffness using fiber jamming. The actuator is made of an elast
Stretchable electronics are becoming popular due to their high adaptability to various environments and durability against external forces. We propose a method of designing and fabricating stretchable electronics using a multi-material conductive elastomer structure embedded with silver (Ag) powders
