Pneumatic variable stiffness soft robot end effectors
Traditionally, robots have been formed from heavy rigid materials and have used stiff actuator technologies. This means they are not well suited to operation near humans due to the associated high risk of injury, should a collision occur. Additionally, rigid robots are not well suited to operation i...
