Modeling of Soft Fiber-Reinforced Bending Actuators (2015, methodology): “Prior work on FEM modeling soft elastomeric actuators with ﬁber reinforcements has demonstrated the shape due to bending [7], [34], but minimal work has been done to validate these models experimentally or used to characterize the actuator stiffness and force-generating capabilities [35], [36].”
Interaction Forces of Soft Fiber Reinforced Bending Actuators (2017, background): “Potential applications include glove-type wearable robotic devices where interaction forces are mostly encountered at the actuator tip [10, 23], and new actuator designs featuring the same topology.”
Soft Robotic Grippers for Biological Sampling on Deep Reefs (2016, background): “Soft systems also offer improved safety as these pneumatically and hydraulically actuated soft materials are inherently safe for interfacing with humans and animals because of their natural compliance and back drivability.(21,22) Suzumori conducted some the earliest work on soft robotic grippers, in”
Soft Manipulators and Grippers: A Review (2016, methodology): “The technique of channeled mold actuators are known under different names, such as fluidic elastomer actuators (FEA) (Marchese and Rus, 2015), PneuFlex actuators (Deimel and Brock, 2013, 2015), or Pneumatic Networks (Pneu-Nets) (Polygerinos et al., 2013; Mosadegh et al., 2014).”
Design and Analysis of a Soft Pneumatic Actuator with Origami Shell Reinforcement (2016, unknown): “This bending motion is suitable for a diverse set of applications such as gripping and manipulating fragile objects,(9,17) adaptable locomotion on unstructured terrains and autonomous navigation,(19,20) operating surgical tools,(21) and biomedical rehabilitation.(22,23) The elastomeric materials use”
Self-healing soft pneumatic robots (2017, background): “1, A and D) was developed for applications wherein safe human-robot interactions are demanded, for example, in social robots (32), household robots, and hand rehabilitation devices (33).”
A Recipe for Soft Fluidic Elastomer Robots (2015, unknown): “have investigated more elaborate channel designs in order to reduce elastomer strain on the outer layer of the actuator, allowing for higher bending curvatures.(51,52) Additionally, Cianchetti et al.”
Soft Robots Manufacturing: A Review (2018, background): “These actuators may also present bellowed geometries (Polygerinos et al., 2013; Mosadegh et al., 2014) (see Figure 5) that allow faster actuation due to a lower volume change of the internal chamber and lower strain level, which in turn increases the actuator lifetime.”
Hydraulic hydrogel actuators and robots optically and sonically camouflaged in water (2017, unknown): “To investigate the strain and stress distribution and the actuation time and force of hydraulic hydrogel actuators, we built 3D ﬁnite element models using a commercial ﬁnite element software ABAQUS 6.14 based on the previously reported approaches 24,34,35 .”
