Core Expertise Areas
Soft Actuators
PneuNets: pneumatic networks of chambers, bending motion from inflation. McKibben muscles: braided pneumatic actuator, contracts under pressure. DEA: dielectric elastomer actuator, voltage-driven area expansion. SMA: shape memory alloy, thermally activated contraction and bending. Hydraulically amplified: HASEL actuators, electrically driven hydraulic pumping.
