Directly Printable Flexible Strain Sensors for Bending and Contact Feedback of Soft Actuators

This paper presents a fully printable sensorized bending actuator that can be calibrated to provide reliable bending feedback and simple contact detection. A soft bending actuator following a pleated morphology, as well as a flexible resistive strain sensor, were directly 3D printed using easily acc...
