Snapping Actuators with Asymmetric and Sequenced Motion
Xin Li, Ye Jin, Mohsen Jafarpour +2
Snapping instabilities in soft structures offer a powerful pathway to achieve rapid and energy-efficient actuation. In this study, an eccentric dome-shaped snapping actuator is dev…
Toggling stiffness via multistability
Hugo de Souza Oliveira, Michele Curatolo, Renate Sachse +1
Variable stiffness is a key capability in biological and robotic systems, enabling adaptive interaction across tasks and environments. Mechanical metamaterials offer an alternative…
Meta-Ori: monolithic meta-origami for nonlinear inflatable soft actuators
Hugo de Souza Oliveira, Xin Li, Johannes Frey +1
The nonlinear mechanical response of soft materials and slender structures is purposefully harnessed to program functions by design in soft robotic actuators, such as sequencing, a…
