Alveolar-Inspired Negative-Pressure Soft Actuators with Integrated Actuation–Sensing
Soft actuators show promise for soft robotics, wearables, and biomedical devices. However, existing pneumatic actuators rely on positive pressure actuation, yielding bulky, complex systems. This study presents a negative-pressure-driven soft actuator inspired by alveolar respiration. A double-layer membrane composed...
