Artificial muscles with tunable stiffness

Faire: Long Island

Maker: Alain Boldini

Home: New York, United States of America

Soft robots are important alternatives to the standard rigid robots we typically think about whenever we need them to interact with humans, manipulate objects, or move on uneven terrains. However, these soft robots still have to become stiff on command to perform different tasks, similar to our natural muscles. Current ways of stiffening soft robots do not allow them to tune their stiffness, thus limiting their versability. In this exhibit, I will introduce the field of soft robots and why they are important, and show my preliminary research results on soft artificial muscles with tunable stiffness through some demonstrators, where deformations are tuned by changing internal structure and position of the jamming material used for stiffening.
