Design and Characterisation of a 3D-Printed Pneumatic Rotary Actuator Exploiting Enhanced Elastic Properties of Auxetic Metamaterials

Design and Characterisation of a 3D-Printed Pneumatic Rotary Actuator Exploiting Enhanced Elastic Properties of Auxetic Metamaterials

This paper describes the design and characterisation of a novel hybrid pneumatic rotational actuator that aims to overcome the limitations of both rigid and soft actuators while combining their advantages; indeed, the designed actuator consists of a soft air chamber having an auxetic structure const...
