Soft devices employ variable stiffness to ensure safety and improve the robustness in the interaction between robots and objects. Using soft materials is one of the most popular approaches to design a variable-stiffness device, while the use of silicone sponge remains less explored in this field. Here we present a novel silicone-sponge-based variable-stiffness device (SVD). The SVD is easy-to-make...
