This step allows for rapid prototyping and iterative design improvements, which are essential in the development of soft robots with complex and bioinspired features. Once the 3D-printed mould is ready, it is then used to cast the soft silicone material. The polymers (including silicone and ...
In this context, 3D printing has first been used to generate negative molds into which silicones are cast and consolidated16,20. More recently, 3D printing of silicone-based materials using stereolithography and Direct Ink Writing (DIW) have been shown3,4,19 and used for the digital ...
The mitt, designed to be worn by people with arm injuries or fractures that oblige them to wear a plaster cast, a plastic splint or a harness. It is held on by supple elastic at its tip and has no fastening at the wrist. The mitt can be made with or without a thumb, and as a ...
a, Series of images (i) and calculated elastic curve (ii) for a bubble cast actuator inflated with one end clamped and the other end blocked by a wall (see Extended Data Fig. 7c; scale bar, 1 cm). b, Blocking force F as a function of the inflation pressure P for various actuat...
Now last night Jameis was at Mike Evans’ charity bowling event and Joe received texts that Jameis was in some sort of cast for his right hand. Eduardo Encina of theTampa Bay Timesnoted on Twitter,with photographic evidence, Jameis had what looks to be a soft cast on his right hand. ...

The bionic bicep connects the forearm and the upper-arm, and the contraction motion allows the forearm to be pulled up or put down. When the bicep is subjected to external stimuli, corresponding resistance changes can be observed. As demonstrated in Figure 6(c)-1) and (d)-1), pressing ...

Based on the dual-arm sport robot, Guo et al. [17] calculated the pre-impact configure to minimize the effects of impacts on the robot’s angular momentum by use of the particle swarm optimizer. Chen et al. [18] put forward a motion-planning method for space robotic systems keeping the...
After the catalysis, a sheet of paper is placed on it, and a last thick layer of silicone rubber is cast. The last layer is drilled, and an air valve is fixed to the layer by a nut to allow for air inlet and outlet. Mannella et al. [59] have made APs consisting of a ...
