Single chamber multiple degree-of-freedom soft pneumatic actuator enabled by adjustable stiffness layers

Jamie Paik, Marco Salerno, Junius Santoso

Soft pneumatic actuators promise simple, adaptable, and safe manipulation, but the nature of pneumatic circuits limits the scalability of this approach. This paper introduces a method to augment the degrees-of-freedom of soft pneumatic actuators without in ...
