Abstract in brief

  • PeanoHASEL actuators are a new type of soft actuator that imitate muscle movements using electric and hydraulic principles, allowing for efficient, linear contraction without the need for rigid frames or complex stacking.
  • These actuators are easy to manufacture with simple heat-sealing techniques and inexpensive materials, and they can perform rapidly (up to 900% strain per second) and strongly (lifting 200 times their weight), making them suitable for advanced robotic and medical applications.
  • They also feature transparency and self-sensing capabilities, which could enhance their use in prosthetics, medical devices, automation, and autonomous robots, addressing limitations of current soft actuators based on pneumatics or shape-memory alloys.]
