A Hybrid Soft Actuator Inspired by Grass-Spike: Design Approach, Dynamic Model, and Applications

This paper presents the bio-mimetic design approach, the dynamic model, and potential applications for a hybrid soft actuator. The proposed hybrid soft actuator consists of two main parts: a cylinder-shaped rigid core and soft silicone spikes wrapped around the core’s surface. The key idea of the pr...
