The field of soft robotics has evolved as a domain for developing light, compliant and safe actuators. However, one of the challenges in the field is the lack of repeatable fabrication techniques as well as customizability that restricts the application of soft robots. We present a fabrication technique using sacrificial molding to fabricate pneumatic channels that are repeatable and less prone to...
