Subject:
Multi-stimulable elastomer materials
System:
Elastomer matrix with variable compliance
Application:
Within compliant elements of robotic and gripper systems as well as medical technology systems

Hybrid elastomer materials with actuator and/or sensory properties make it possible to implement new solutions that use compliant eloastomer materials, especially for soft robotics applications. The mechanical properties and material parameters of these compliant elastomer materials are adapted to the task at hand by stimulating them in multiple ways through temperature and magnetic fields.
