Investigators discuss new findings in Robotics. According to news originating from Nanjing, People’s Republic of China, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, “The good compliance of soft robots provides a reliable safety environment for human-robot interaction; however, it also creates challenges for adding sensors to soft robots. In this letter, we propose a self-sensing origami-inspired soft twisting actuator.” Financial support for this research came from National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC). Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from the Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology (NUIST), “The actuator is designed based on the structure of origami, enabling the compound motion of twist and contraction. The position sensor made from flexible fabric material is integrated in the soft actuator body. With twisting angle feedback, the self-sensing twisting actuator can not only provide expected motion but also acquire additional environment information based on real-time sensing. This letter discusses the design, fabrication, and experimental validation of proposed self-sensing twisting actuator. Based on the self-sensing twisting actuator, a soft gripper, a soft robotic arm, and a soft hexapod robot, all vacuum-powered, are designed and prototyped to validate their performance.”
