Compliant Electric Actuators Based on Handed Shearing Auxetics

Compliant Electric Actuators Based on Handed Shearing Auxetics

In this paper, we explore a new class of electric motor-driven compliant actuators based on handed shearing auxetic cylinders. This technique combines the benefits of compliant bodies from soft robotic actuators with the simplicity of direct coupling to electric motors. We demonstrate the effectiven...
