Soft force sensors enable closed loop control or autonomous operation of compliant robot systems. A stretchable force sensing surface containing an array of independent sensor units is reported. This design allows for the measurement of local shear and nor ...

Recent advances in soft actuators have enabled systems that are safer to interact with, better at handling fragile objects, able to produce complex shapes with fewer components. However, being inherently soft differs these actuators from their rigid counte ...

Dielectric elastomers are soft actuators, made of an elastomer membrane sandwiched by compliant electrodes. Because of their high energy density and quick response, they are well suited for dynamic applications such as loudspeakers. Thanks to progress in t ...

We present variable stiffness dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs), combining a single DEA actuator with embedded shape memory polymer (SMP) fibers, which can be electrically addressed to locally reduce the stiffness by a factor of 100. The device accommo ...

Programmable soft materials exhibiting dynamically reconfigurable, reversible, fast, and latchable shape transformation are key for applications ranging from wearable tactile actuators to deployable soft robots. Multimorph soft actuator sheets with high lo ...

Programmable shape morphing enables soft machines to safely and effectively interact with the environment. Stimuli-responsive materials can transform 2D sheets into 3D geometries. However, most solutions cannot hold their shape at zero power, are limited t ...

Robots using classical control have revolutionised assembly lines where the environment and manipulated objects are restricted and predictable. However, they have proven less effective when the manipulated objects are deformable due to their complex and un ...

Capacitive soft force sensors require electrical shielding from electromagnetic interference, but this shielding can mess with the effectiveness of the sensing electrodes. Here, Aksoy et al. solve this problem by patterning the central sensing elastomer la ...
