The patent’s assignee is Istanbul Teknik Universitesi (Istanbul, Turkey).News editors obtained the following quote from the background information suppli ed by the inventors:“For the production of fluid controlled soft actuators, gen erally, elastomeric materials such as siliconeand rubber are used and by applyi ng pneumatic pressure on these structures, the desired movementis obtained. The desired movement is obtained by the elastomers being molded and added anisotropic attributes. Although elastomeric materials offer certain superior features su ch as thermal resistance,chemical resistance and conformity to different moveme nts, the attributes-material density, hardness,endurance-of the elastomeric mat erials can cause difficulties in wearable applications (for example, thehardnes s and weight of the materials hinder the movement range of the user) or when the design is requiredto be scaled to size; limit the design options. In order to eliminate these disadvantages, some textile-basedsoft actuators have been devel oped. As in many textile products, these are combined and produced bysewing and attaching the cut pieces. Therefore, there are difficulties in achieving the qu ality objectivesdepending on high labor costs and a great number of production steps in the production of textile-basedsoft actuators.
