Printable Bistable Structures for Programmable Frictional Skins of Soft-Bodied Robots
Tung D. Ta,Yoshihiro Kawahara,Tung D. Ta,Yoshihiro Kawahara
Soft robots made of flexible materials are highly adaptive, easy to fabricate, and safer to interact with. One of the ways for soft robots to interact with the surrounding environment is through their deformable bodily characteristics including internal body stiffness and external body friction. Though the flexibility of soft-bodied robots has been rigorously studied, the frictional skin of such s...
