SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ACTUATING SOFT ROBOTIC ACTUATORS |
| 摘要 |
Systems and methods for providing a soft robot is provided. In one system, a robotic device includes a flexible body having a fluid chamber, where a portion of the flexible body includes an elastically extensible material and a portion of the flexible body is strain limiting relative to the elastically extensible material. The robotic device can further include a pressurizing inlet in fluid communication with the fluid chamber, and a pressurizing device in fluid communication with the pressurizing inlet, the pressurizing device including a reaction chamber configured to accommodate a gas-producing chemical reaction for providing pressurized gas to the pressurizing inlet. |

1. A robotic device, comprising:
a flexible body having a fluid chamber, wherein a portion of the flexible body comprises an elastically extensible material and a portion of the flexible body is strain limiting relative to the elastically extensible material; a pressurizing inlet in fluid communication with the fluid chamber; and a pressurizing device in fluid communication with the pressurizing inlet, the pressurizing device comprising a reaction chamber configured to accommodate one or more gas-producing reagents for providing pressurized gas to the pressurizing inlet. |
