Aiming at the nonlinear expansion/contraction drive problem between different cables in
multi-joint cable drive mechanisms, a mechanical drive method based on a non-circular …

Purpose To address the application requirements of soft actuators in rehabilitation training
gloves, and in combination with ergonomic requirements, we designed a segmented soft …

The pneumatic gripper in industrial applications has the advantages of structure simplicity
and great adaptability, but its gripping power is usually limited due to the low modulus of soft …

The paper deals with an optimization of a magnetic circuit of the field exciter designed to
control magnetorheological fluid (MRF) in a hybrid soft–rigid jaw gripper. The case …

ABSTRACT A novel three-dimensional-fiber reinforced soft pneumatic actuator (3D-FRSPA)
inspired by crab claw and human hand structure that can bend and deform independently in …

Compared with rigid robotic arms, soft robotic arms have the advantages of high degree of
freedom, lightness, and flexibility. However, insufficient torque and overshoot often cause …
