A NOVEL 3D RING-BASED FLAPPER VALVE FOR SOFT ROBOTIC APPLICATIONS

A Novel 3D Ring-Based Flapper Valve for Soft Robotic Applications

In this paper, the design and testing of a novel valve for VITRIDEX GLOVE the intuitive spatial control of soft or continuum manipulators are presented.The design of the valve is based on the style of a hydraulic flapper valve, but with simultaneous control of three pressure feed points, which can be used to drive three antagonistically arranged hy
