Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An apparatus comprising: a soft robotic actuator (30), the soft robotic actuator (30) comprising a strain limiting layer and a hollow body including an elastomeric material, the hollow body configured to accept an inflation fluid, the soft robotic actuator (30) having a neutral axis of bending; and a rigidizing layer provided adjacent to the strain limiting layer or integral with the strain limiting layer, the rigidizing layer comprising one or more rigid components oriented perpendicular to the neutral axis of bending.
