3D Printing of Passively Actuated Self-Folding Robots with Integrated Functional Modules

Gaolin Ge, Qifeng Yang, Haoran Lu, Tingyu Cheng, Martin Nisser, Yiyue Luo

ICRA 2026poster

We introduce an elastic-driven self-folding approach that fabricates robots directly from flat 3D-printed conductive PLA nets. Elastic bands routed through printed hooks store energy that folds the sheet into programmed 3D geometries, while the flat state allows accurate placement of electronics and…

Real-Time Puncture Detection and Recovery for Pneumatic Soft Actuators

Tejonidhi R Deshpande, Tingyu Cheng, Josiah Hester

ICRA 2026poster

Soft robots offer safe and adaptive interaction with humans and unstructured environments through their inherent ability to deform and comply. Pneumatic actuators are one way to build soft robots. They are typically made from soft silicone materials and are especially effective for driving such syst…
