Handed Shearing Auxetics (HSA) are a promising structure for making electrically driven robots with distributed compliance that convert a motors rotation and torque into extension and force. These structures expand and contract by changing an internal angle between links, the evolution of the structure as this angle changes is known as the auxetic trajectory. We overcome past limitations on the ra...
