Shaping Soft Robotic Microactuators by Wire Electrical Discharge Grinding

Inflatable soft microactuators typically consist of an elastic material with an internal void that can be inflated to generate a deformation. A crucial feature of these actuators is the shape of ther inflatable void as it determines the bending motion. Due to fabrication limitations, low complex voi...
