Soft actuators are increasingly employed as an alternative to rigid actuators for delicate applications that demand high flexibility and adaptability. Typically fabricated from compliant materials, soft actuators exhibit significant flexibility. However, when alternative movements beyond their primary motion are required, these actuators often need to be redesigned or re-fabricated, which limits their versatility. This research introduces an innovative design for variable stiffness soft pneumatic actuators (SPAs) by incorporating a modular strain-limiting layer (SLL) embedded with phase-changing inclusions, enabling active control of the tip trajectory in 3D-printed zig-zag SPAs. The modular SLLs are fabricated using phase-changing inclusions composed of 40% high aspect ratio Field’s Metal particles in EcoFlex. The results demonstrate that employing three modular SLLs on a single side of the SPA allows active switching between eight distinct stiffness configurations, thereby achieving eight unique tip trajectories. This capability significantly enhances the working envelope and range of tip trajectories compared to conventional SPAs, providing greater adaptability and functionality for a broader range of applications.

In recent years, several industries have increased their demand for processing precision, automatic detection, and visualization interfaces. Therefore, to keep pace with the fourth industrial revolution, machine tool operators install a large number of sensors on machine tools to obtain more precise physical quantities during processing and use a variety of sensors to obtain measurements in various situations. However, these additional sensors on machine tools result in complicated wire layouts, which exhibit negative effects on processing. Such problems lead to the birth of wireless data transmission, which is expected to become the new standard in the future. At present, there is more and more interactive integration between relevant embedded system and the machine tool, which allows information communication between each other in the wireless domain. However, generally, the majority of machine tool operators focus on optimizing the sensing conditions during processing, but they disregard the importance of information security. In the current era of the Internet of Things (IoT), information security is regarded as a crucial factor. For the wireless communication between the IoT equipment for each machine in the machining field, the transmitted data are almost exposed within public space directly due to the loss in constraint and protection of physical wiring. Therefore, such a process can easily be intercepted by other devices that capture information on relevant status of the machine or command messages received by the controller, where intentional individual may possibly control the operating mechanism and progress of entire plant. This leads to theft of relevant secrets in manufacturing technology for the subject company, or intentional shutdown, machine damage, and vicious blackmailing attacks. Therefore, introducing the mechanism of safety protection during wireless signal transmission is an inevitable technology to maintain the company interests and also the

Soft pneumatic actuators (SPAs) made from compliant materials are increasingly being used as alternatives to rigid robotic actuators, particularly in applications requiring greater flexibility, adaptability, and compliance. A typical SPA incorporates a single strain-limiting layer (SLL), which helps maintain the actuator’s structural integrity and regulates its deformation to control motion. These SLLs are constructed from materials with specific elastic moduli, causing the SPA’s tip to follow a predetermined trajectory. However, in dynamic environments where varied tasks such as versatile in-hand manipulation are required, a single trajectory is insufficient. To address this, we present a novel modular press-fittable SLL design for Zig-zag SPA configurations, enabling multiple trajectory paths without the need for repeated actuator re-fabrication. By varying the SLL configuration, different motion trajectories can be achieved, without altering the primary structure of the actuator. Additionally, we tackle the inverse kinematic problem of determining the appropriate SLL configuration for a desired trajectory, using support vector machines (SVM) to predict the optimal configurations. Our experiment demonstrates the ability to generate over 100 unique trajectories using only Dragon Skin 10 & EcoFlex 30, with the SVM model achieving an average accuracy of 95% in predicting the necessary configurations for specific trajectories.
