Modeling of Soft Fiber-Reinforced Bending Actuators (2015, methodology): “In this paper, the principle of operation of these actuators is comprehensively analyzed and described through experimentally validated quasi-static analytical and ﬁnite-element method models for bending in free space and force generation when in contact with an object.”
Soft robotic glove for combined assistance and at-home rehabilitation (2015, unknown): “Soft fiber-reinforced actuators The soft actuators presented in this work are composite tubular constructions consisting of anisotropic fiber reinforcements in an elastomeric matrix [31,43,44,51,52].”
A novel type of compliant and underactuated robotic hand for dexterous grasping (2016, methodology): “The PneuFlex actuator shares many properties with other recently published continuum actuators, most notably the fast PneuNet actuators [Mosadegh et al., 2014] and the actuator by Galloway et al. [2013].”
Interaction Forces of Soft Fiber Reinforced Bending Actuators (2017, methodology): “It has previously been shown that soft bending actuators can generate inherent bending motion without requiring any rigid components [22-24].”
