Robot grippers that can mimic human hand function
Swiss researchers have used polymer actuators to create a two-fingered robotic gripper that can pick up objects of arbitrary shape, weight or deformability.
Bioinspired swimming and walking hydrogel mini-robots
Underwater actuator devices with a range of motion, including swimming and walking, are demonstrated via laser-control of density of composite hydrogels.
Auxetics could provide soft actuation for robotics
A new class of soft actuators based on the auxetic behavior of patterned cylindrical shells containing a layout of voids that can be designed to reversibly achieve flexural or twisting motion is presented.
Self-healing materials for soft robotic applications
Nadia Cheng and colleagues present a novel thermally tunable composite that can achieve significant ranges of stiffness, strength, and volume.
Artificial muscle for biomimetic soft robotics
A soft laminate simultaneously functions as a high-efficiency bending actuator and a high-efficiency open-air supercapacitor.
