Abstract:Soft pneumatic pouch actuators with simple structures and fabrication processes are being studied for application in soft robots. In addition, some research groups have tried to add sensors to the pouch actuators to estimate their states. In this study, we propose to embed a soft strain sensor made of liquid metal in the bladder of a pouch actuator made of stretchable styreneethylene-butadiene-styrene (SEBS) film, which can expand to a large extent under pressure to enable shape estimation. A method of process… Show more
