Highly Deformation of Soft Kirigami-Gripper Fixed on Bellows-typed Multiple Arm

Abstract

In this study, we designed the multiple semi-bellows type arms driven by pneumatic control, and attempted post-functional operation after pre-fixation in order to utilize the three-dimensional deformation of their actuator functions. In that case, Kirigami structural top plate was fixed, and two-dimensional expansion deformation of the fixed Kirigami top plate synchronized with the bending motion of the arm was examined.
