When you poke or pull at the display, depth cameras measure your movements and tell linear actuators to manipulate the elastic surface accordingly. So, if you make a pinch-and-pull motion, ...

Swedish researchers have developed a breakthrough 3D printing method to create soft actuators. These dielectric elastic actuators (DEA) are made from silicone-based materials, combining conductive ...

This paper describes a simple design strategy for the rapid fabrication of prestressed soft actuators (PSAs), exploiting elastic energy storage to enhance the capabilities of soft robots. The elastic ...
