Inspired by the starfish's active deformation to stably adhere to surfaces of different shapes, this paper designs an Active Pneumatic Bilayer Planar Actuator (A-PBPA) for surface morphing. The innovation is threefold: firstly, by replacing the fixed connecting rods between top and bottom layers in
Deformable organisms in nature inspire the design of shape-shifting robots, including soft robots, bionic robots and physical human-robot interfaces. However, to achieve multi-objective shape imitation and multi-form transformation, shape-shifting robots often require complex actuation systems, cont
Collaboration with robots through physical contact offers a more intuitive, natural, and engaging operational experience, showcasing vast potential in the field of human-robot interaction. However, current physical interaction devices, such as collaborative robots and haptic feedback mechanisms, are…
