Research on Origami Inspired Fluid Logic Control Method for Soft Robots
In the fluid drive system of soft robot,the traditional hard solenoid valve is usually controlled through the single-chip computer system to achieve a variety of movements,but the rigid structure does not match the flexible characteristics of the soft robot,so 3D printing technology has become the choice of manufacturing soft valve control components.Based on the Snap-through characteristics of 3D printed Kresling origami structure under negative pressure and the characteristics of large folding ratio of origami structure,a soft valve that can drive motion and com-putational logic is manufactured,and a fluid logic gate is configured to realize efficient,flexible and intelligent con-trol of the soft robot.
