“…Pneumatic and hydraulic actuators have long been popular among soft actuation methods thanks to their relatively large actuation forces, fast response times, high work densities and large strains (Table 1). Much recent work has focused on incorporating established pneumatic actuators into robotic locomotion 21,22 , grasping 23 and wearable haptic 24 or assistive devices 10 .…”

Research in soft matter engineering has introduced new approaches in robotics and wearable devices that can interface with the human body and adapt to unpredictable environments. However, many promising applications are limited by the dependence of soft systems on electrical or pneumatic tethers. Recent work in soft actuation and electronics has made removing such cords more feasible, heralding a variety of applications from autonomous field robotics to wireless biomedical devices. Here we review the development of functional untethered soft robotics. We focus on recent advances in soft robotic actuation, sensing and integration as they relate to untethered systems, and consider the key challenges the field faces in engineering systems that could have practical use in real-world conditions.

“…It exists other simulators [7], [8] but none of them completely fulfills the needs established by our medical partner, which are: 1) To allow the doctor to choose a needle insertion point in any place on the joint. 2) Once the insertion point is selected, the haptic interface must keep the same direction, and if it is necessary, the trajectory can be modified within the body if a prefixed maximum angle is not exceeded 3) When the needle tip is penetrating the body, different body stiffness must be rendered, according to patient's profiles and pathologists.…”

Intraarticular needle injection under ultrasound guidance is the most used method to provide pain relief in joints. To learn this process, medical students need to practice in order to master the manipulation of the syringe and the ultrasound probe at the same time. To offer a risk-free training for trainees, we present in this paper the development and design of a haptic simulator prototype. The models and methods used to render the forces involved are introduced, as well as the mechanical design and finally a validation test performed by our medical partner. Clinical relevance-This simulator helps medical students to train intraarticular needle injection under ultrasound guidance using a haptic device to provide realism and immersion.

In recent years, Advances in the 3D print technology show us a way to customize almost anything we want. In this paper, we provide a rapid fabrication method to create personalized pneumatic haptic displays using the 3D printing technology. Based on the miniature airbags, the haptic display is light to wear, waterproof, and low-cost. Because it is free to customize, various shapes even ungrounded(wearable) haptic displays or grounded haptic displays can be made out of. Each airbag is inflated by a full-range speaker which mounted on a closed air chamber where the air is transferred back and forth through a tiny nozzle to the airbag. So both low-frequency pressure and high-frequency vibration could be presented. As a haptic display, the performance on rendering tactile sensation of the airbag was evaluated, also the psychophysical experiment was down for measuring the capability of rendering multi-dimensional tactile sensation. As the result, the airbag is able to present mechanical vibrations with a range of 2Hz to 800Hz, and to render directional tactile information which is correctly distinguished over 80%.
