Abstract Owing to their compliance, soft robots demonstrate enhanced compatibility with humans and the environment compared with traditional rigid robots. However, ensuring the working effectiveness of artificial muscles that actuate soft robots in confined spaces or underloaded conditions remains a challenge. Drawing inspiration from avian pneumatic bones, we propose the incorporation of a light weight endoskeleton into artificial muscles to augment the mechanical integrity and tackle load-bearing environmental difficulties. We present a soft origami hybrid artificial muscle that features a hollow origami metamaterial interior with a rolled dielectric elastomer exterior. The programmable nonlinear origami metamaterial endoskeleton More >
