Soft robots with inherent compliance and adaptability have implemented and displayed various functions and capabilities. Among in, modular soft robots have strong adaptability and versatility in various application contexts. However, the introduction of connection mechanisms will always either reduce the structural compliance or need extra actuation appendages, resulting in the complexity of the structure and system of the robot. To address these issues, the Soft Robotics lab at Hanyang University has demonstrated a compliant and passive connection strategy, which is accomplished by utilizing reclosable fasteners (RFs) as the connection mechanisms to the soft modules for the rapid assembly of various soft machines. The module is a soft actuator with both ends designed with a multifaceted structure to attach the RFs in different orientations, resulting in various assembling patterns, including linear connection, orthogonal connection, and oblique connection. The versatility of the RF enables soft modules capable of assembling not only between identical modules but also with diverse additional accessories for various application scenarios. Different functional assemblies are demonstrated including soft grippers, soft walking robots, and shape-morphing electrical devices. This approach to the connection mechanisms provides routes to new modular soft robots and devices. Compared with the previously reported connection methods of the soft modules, the RF-based connection approach in this study offers several promising advantages. First, the easy availability of the material allows RF to be used as a low-cost and versatile assembling method. Second, the RF-based connection made from flexible materials is a kind of soft connection with no effect on the softness and compliance of the robot structure. The third one is the simplicity of design. At the same time, small-sized RFs enable multiple RF-based connectors to be mounted on one single soft actuator at different positions and orientations to achieve a variety of possible connection patterns. The work entitled “Modular Assembly of Soft Machines via Multidirectional Reclosable Fastenersion” has been published in the journal of 「Advanced Intelligent Systems」 in July.
