Abstract: Reconfigurable soft robotic actuators with hard components are described. Magnetic attraction is used to couple flexible molded bodies capable of actuation upon pressurization with other flexible molded bodies and/or with hard components (e.g., frames and connectors) to form a seal for fluidic communication and cooperative actuation. Pneumatic de-coupling chambers built into the hard components to de-couple the hard components from the magnetically-coupled soft molded bodies are described. The use of magnetic self-alignment coupling and pneumatic de-coupling allows for the remote assembly and disassembly of complex structures involving hard and soft components. The magnetic coupling allows for rapid, reversible reconfiguration of hybrid soft-hard robots for repair, testing new designs, and carrying out new tasks.

Abstract: Composite materials that are configurable, their preparation, and their uses are described. A composite article includes a plurality of sheets positioned to interleave and partially overlap with each other and held together by interactions between the plurality of sheets and a compressive force across the plurality of sheets, wherein each of the plurality of sheets is infused with an elastomer and forms at least one smooth surface, wherein each of the plurality of sheets is in close contact with adjacent ones of the plurality of sheets, wherein an overlapping area of the plurality of sheets provides resistance to a shear force applied to the composite article.
