Soft robotic grippers are fabricated with embedded contact pressure, inflation, and curvature sensors, as reported by Robert J. Wood, Jennifer A. Lewis, and co‐workers in article number 1706383. The creation of bioinspired soft robots with somatosensory feedback is achieved via embedded 3D printing of an ionically conductive ink within elastomeric matrices. Image credit: R. L. Truby and J. A. Lewis,...
Humans possess manual dexterity, motor skills, and other physical abilities that rely on feedback provided by the somatosensory system. Herein, a method is reported for creating soft somatosensitive actuators (SSAs) via embedded 3D printing, which are innervated with multiple conductive features that simultaneously enable haptic, proprioceptive, and thermoceptive sensing. This novel manufacturing...
