Soft robots have long been attractive to robotic engineers due to their remarkable dexterity; however, reports that standardize soft actuators into modularized off-shelf devices akin to rigid robots are still rare, and the mechanical efficiency of existing designs is still limited. This work identifies origami folding to enable the design of LEGO-like modularized soft actuators with high mechanica...
