PneuBots Soft Robotics
Hye Jun Youn
ᱥᱤᱠᱷᱱᱟᱹᱛ PneuBots Soft Robotics ᱛᱮ Hye Jun Youn PneuBots is a modular soft robotics construction kit for learning and creative making. The kit contains seven types of self-foldable segments, three types of pneumatic connectors and splitters, and a custom box measuring 200 by 70 by 100 millimetres. Each module is made from two layers of PVC film sealed along origami-inspired patterns using CNC milling and heat pressing. The modules shrink, curl or bend when inflated through oral inflation valves. The kit lowers the barrier to entry for artists, designers, engineers and makers who wish to explore soft robotics.
