(A) FEA-based numerical simulation to optimize the actuator’s geometry and actuation parameters. (B) Using FFF technology, the molds are printed in rigid material and the sacrificial cores are in a ...

Called the Pneumatically Actuated Soft Elbow Exoskeleton (PASE), the device uses a silicone “pneumatic actuator,” or soft air ...

Soft, air-powered exoskeleton eases muscle fatigue, reduces injuries and boosts workplace safety. (UTA)For workers whose jobs ...

Researchers have proposed process flow guides for 3D printing of miniature soft pneumatic actuators. Integrating the prints into a robotic system offers potential applications in jet-engine ...

To create a safer, more practical robot, Professor Ryan Truby and his team developed a soft, flexible actuator that enables robots to move by expanding and contracting—just like a human muscle. To ...

UC San Diego develops soft robotic skin to steer millimeter-scale vine robots through complex environments. Read more ...

Researchers have developed a soft robotic skin that enables vine robots that are just a few millimeters wide to navigate ...

We've been hearing a lot about "artificial muscles," which allow robotic devices or prosthetic limbs to perform human-like motions. And while most of them have been produced in labs utilizing ...
