Fibre jamming is a new and understudied soft robotic mechanism that has previously found success in stiffness-tunable arms and fingers. However, to date researchers have not fully taken advantage of the freedom offered by contemporary fabrication techniques including multi-material 3D printing in the creation of fibre jamming structures. In this research, we present a novel, modular, multi-materia...
