Mechanical programmable design of soft pneumatic actuators with kirigami patterns to generate expanding, bending and twisting motions
This paper presents the influence of cuts inspired by kirigami art on the outer surface of a soft actuator with cylindrical geometry. Both the kirigami pattern and orientation were varied to achieve expanding, bending, and twisting motions. Two symmetric kirigami patterns are presented, i.e., cells...
