Multipoint Bending and Shape Retention of a Pneumatic Bending Actuator by a Variable Stiffness Endoskeleton
{{output}}
We propose a pneumatic bending actuator integrated with a low-melting-point alloy-based variable stiffness endoskeleton that can bend at multiple points and maintain its bent shape without power supply. Local stiffness of the soft actuator can be altered by me... ...
