Automation starts with a simple promise: a system gets an instruction, and the physical world reacts. Conveyor lines move ...

Researchers have taken inspiration from origami to create inflatable structures that can bend, twist and move in complex, distinct ways from a single source of pressure. Inflatable soft actuators that ...

Addressing the key questions about the role of actuators in medical testing environments explains why actuator designs are changing to handle mass processing and eliminate ...

Inflatable soft actuators that can change shape with a simple increase in pressure can be powerful, lightweight, and flexible components for soft robotic systems. But there’s a problem: These ...
