Enhancing their actuation capability and using them to develop soft robots with high performance is still an open and challenging issue. In this study, we developed novel pneumatic actuators based on fiber-reinforced airbags as a solution to this problem, of which the maximum pressure reaches more than 100 kPa. Through cellular rearrangement, the developed actuators could bend uni- or bidirectionally, achieving large driving force, large deformation, and high conformability. Hence, they could be used to develop soft manipulators with relatively large payload (up to 10 kg, about 50 times the body self-weight) and soft climbing robots with high mobility. In this article, we first present the design of the airbag-based actuators and then model the airbag to obtain the relationship between the pneumatic pressure, external force, and deformation. Subsequently, we validate the models by comparing the simulated and measured results and test the load capacity of the bending actuators. Afterward, we present the development of a soft pneumatic robot that can rapidly climb horizontal, inclined, and vertical poles with different cross-sectional shapes and even outdoor natural objects, like bamboos, at a speed of 12.6 mm/s generally.

The soft and stretchable sensor was fabricated using an ionic liquid (IL)/polymer network. Two separate IL-based polymer membranes were used to detect normal and shear forces. Sensor architecture and electrical wiring for normal, shear, and combined sensing were developed, and various material compositions for different sensor layers were investigated to find the combination that could achieve the optimum sensor performance. A basic material formulation for carbon nanotube-based electrodes, the IL/polymer network, and polymeric insulation layers was proposed. To configure a combined (normal and shear) sensor, separate sensors for normal and shear deformations were first designed and investigated. Later, a combined sensor was fabricated using a mold via screen printing, photocuring, and thermal curing. The combined sensor was evaluated under different force conditions. The results show that the sensor can reliably measure normal and shear forces.

While much work has been devoted to developing soft actuators and bioinspired mechatronic systems, comparatively little has been done to improve the methods of actuation. Hydraulically soft actuators (HSAs) are emerging candidates to control soft robots due to their fast responses, low noise, and low hysteresis compared to compressible pneumatic ones. Despite advances, current hydraulic sources for large HSAs are still bulky and require high power availability to drive the pumping plant. To overcome these challenges, this work presents a new bioinspired soft and high aspect ratio pumping element (Bio-SHARPE) for use in soft robotic and medical applications. This new soft pumping element can amplify its input volume to at least 8.6 times with a peak pressure of at least 40 kPa. The element can be integrated into existing hydraulic pumping systems like a hydraulic gearbox. Naturally, an amplification of fluid volume can only come at the sacrifice of pumping pressure, which was observed as a 19.1:1 reduction from input to output pressure. The new concept enables a large soft robotic body to be actuated by smaller fluid reservoirs and pumping plant, potentially reducing their power and weight, and thus facilitating drive source miniaturization. The high amplification ratio also makes soft robotic systems more applicable for human-centric applications such as rehabilitation aids, bioinspired untethered soft robots, medical devices, and soft artificial organs. Details of the fabrication and experimental characterization of the Bio-SHARPE and its associated components are given.

One subset of these soft pneumatic actuators is conventionally developed from silicone, fabrics, and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). Each of these materials in isolation possesses limitations of low-stress capacity, low-design complexity, and high-input pressure requirements, respectively. Combining these materials can overcome some limitations and maintain their desirable properties. In this article, we explore one such composite design scheme using a combination of silicone polymer-based bladder and reconfigurable fabric skin made from an anisotropic extensible fabric. The silicone polymer bladder acts as the hermetic seal, while this skin acts as the constraint. Bending and torsional actuators were designed utilizing the anisotropy of these fabrics. The torsional actuator designs can achieve over 540° of twist, significantly larger than previously reported in the literature, owing to the lower mechanical impedance of the extensible fabrics. Actuators with 360° of bending were also fabricated using this method. In addition, the lack of TPU-backed or inextensible fabrics reduces the actuator's stiffness, leading to lower actuation pressures. Skin-based designs also confer the advantage of modularity, reconfigurability, and the ability to achieve complex motions by tuning the properties of the bladder and the skin. For applications with high-force requirements, such as wearable exoskeletons, we demonstrate the utility of multilayer design schemes. A multilayer bending actuator generated 190 N of force at 100 kPa and was shown to be a candidate for wearable assistive devices. In addition, torsional designs were shown to have utility in practical scenarios such as screwing on a bottle cap and turning knobs.

This study's main contribution is proposing a framework for nonlinear multimaterial architectural design of soft structures to increase their toughness and delay damage propagation. What are the limits when combining significantly different materials in one structure that will delay crack propagation while significantly maintaining postdamage toughness? Through this study, we observed that there is a very dynamic interplay when combining significantly different materials in one structure; this interplay could weaken or strengthen the multimaterial structure's toughness. In biological evolutionary terms, the Pangolin, Seashell, and Arapaima have found their answer for deflecting the crack and maintaining strength in their bodies. How does nature put these multimaterial structures together? Our research led us to find that the multimaterial toughness limits depend largely on the following parameters: components' relative morphology, architecture, spatial distribution, surface areas, and Young's Modulus. We found that a linear geometry, when it comes to morphology and/or architecture relative to surface area in multimaterial design, significantly reduces total toughness and fails to delay crack propagation. In contrast, incorporating geometric nonlinearities in both morphology and architecture significantly maintains higher total toughness even after damage, and significantly delays crack propagation.
