This work presents a unique approach to the design, fabrication, and characterization of
paper-based origami robotic systems consisting of stackable pneumatic actuators. These …

Soft pneumatic actuators (SPAs) based on inherently compliant materials have been
developed by integrating with a fabric, a fiber reinforcement, or applying origami patterns …

Origami is a practical approach for developing soft robots and deployable structures. If the
folding and stiffness are actively adjustable, we can program the motion of the resulting …

Conventional soft pneumatic actuators (SPAs) are made of soft materials that facilitate safe
interaction and adaptability. In positioning and loading tasks, however, SPAs demonstrate …

This study investigates the characteristics of a novel origami-based, elastomeric actuator
and a soft gripper, which are controlled by hand gestures that are recognized through …

Kirigami structures are human-made structures that enable the fabrication of stretchable
structures from materials with limited stretching properties through the geometrical re …

This letter presents a self-folding piston-style actuator for flat-foldable robots. Despite the
variety of soft and planar actuators used in origami robots, extensional actuators are …

Soft pneumatic actuators have become indispensable for many robotic applications due to
their reliability, safety, and design flexibility. However, the currently available actuator …

The development of soft pneumatic actuators based on composites consisting of elastomers
with embedded sheet or fiber structures (eg, paper or fabric) that are flexible but not …

Origami structures held promise for their flexibility, simultaneous responsiveness, and
adaptability, yet they are vulnerable due to the hygroscopic property when exposed to the …
