Motorized, untethered soft robots via 3D printed auxetics

Abstract

We present a method of 3D printing handed shearing auxetics for scalable, motorized soft robotic actuators. The auxetics are assembled into multi-degree-of-freedom legs that enable fast, untethered locomotion over long operation times.
