3D Printing of Soft Actuators for Wearable Soft Robots (2022-2023)
Our goal is to develop a silicone 3D printer for fabrication of customizable wearable soft robots with application to elbow flexion exoskeleton. We set the following objectives:
1. Develop a direct ink writing (DIW) system for 3D printing silicone rubber.
2. Design and finite element analysis (FEA) of a wearable soft actuator for flexion motion.
3. Develop a soft 1-degree-of-freedom exoskeleton for elbow flexion.
4. Experimental validation of the 3D printed soft actuator for a wearable application.
