The soft robot has many degrees of freedom, strong environmental adaptability, and good human–computer interaction ability. As the end-effector robot, gripper can grasp objects different shapes without destructivity. Based on theoretical analysis kinematics model flexible bending deformation air cavity were established. Accordingly, relationship between angle pressure was determined. Through ap...

This paper describes the current efforts to develop and manufacture a first prototype for boundary layer pump as mean assess future more complex designs. Following an approach of “learning by doing”, previous design was re-assessed from mechanical/workshop point view. Budget constraints in-house manufacturing capabilities were taken into consideration deliver new design, suitable quick producti...
