Abstract
By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-New research on robotics is the subjec t of a new report. According to news originating from Riverside,California,by NewsRx correspondents,research stated,"Soft robots,inspired by biological ada ptability,can excel where rigid robots may falter and offer flexibility and saf ety for complex,unpredictable environments." Funders for this research include National Science Foundation. The news correspondents obtained a quote from the research from University of Ca lifornia: "In this paper,we present the Omnidirectional Bending Actuator (OBA),a soft robotic actuation module which is fabricated from off-the-shelf material s with easy scalability and consists of three pneumatic chambers. Distinguished by its streamlined manufacturing process,the OBA is capable of bending in all d irections with a high force-to-weight ratio,potentially addressing a notable re search gap in knit fabric actuators with multi-degree-of-freedom capabilities. W e will present the design and fabrication of the OBA,examine its motion and for ce capabilities,and demonstrate its capability for stiffness modulation and its ability to maintain set configurations under loads."
