This paper establishes an analytical model for a dual-pressure-actuated pneumatic linear actuator, investigating the relationship between the output force of the linear actuator and both the pressure differential and displacement. Experiments were designed to validate the model. The maximum output f
The emergence of non-fingered soft bioinspired grippers poses a challenge for learning-based grasping control due to the lack of a model describing grasping robustness and a dataset for training. In this letter, we propose a comprehensive pipeline encompassing grasping evaluation, dataset generation
Soft wearable devices for hand rehabilitation can assist activities of daily living. While existing soft robotic gloves can help with finger flexion, they are less suitable for patients who cannot extend their fingers due to poststroke increased muscular tension. In this letter, we proposed a variab
This paper presents a soft actuator embedded with conductive liquid metal and shape memory epoxy (SME) which function together to enable self-sensing, tunable mechanical degrees of freedom (DoF), and variable stiffness. We embedded thermoplastic shape memory epoxy in the bottom portion of the actuat…
