Soft Actuation of Structured Cylinders through Auxetic Behavior

We introduce a new class of soft actuators based on the buckling of locally patterned elastic cylindrical shells that can be designed to reversibly achieve flexural or twisting motion. Depressurizing our samples allows for tunable and controllable motion. Given that the deformation is primarily gove...
