Soft robots have a wide rang of applications due to their compliance, flexibility and low fabrication cost. Compare to rigid robots, soft robots are more safe for human. In this work, we design various multi-DoF actuators with spring reinforce and particle jamming, and two fabrication methods are proposed to make them. Each type of actuator is tested to evaluate the mechanical properties by experi...
