Lighter and Stronger: Cofabricated Electrodes and Variable Stiffness Elements in Dielectric Actuators

The inherent compliance of soft robots often makes it difficult for them to exert forces on surrounding surfaces or withstand mechanical loading. Controlled stiffness is a solution to empower soft robots with the ability to apply large forces on their environments and sustain external loads without...
