The compliance nature of soft robots permits them to effectively adapt to various challenging environments, but at the cost of poor payload carrying capabilities and lack of precision in motions. Electro-adhesive (EA) layer jamming clutches are an emerging type of active variable stiffness (VS) technique that features the advantages of structural simplicity, light-weight, rapid response speed, and low power consumption. However, current EA clutches mainly adopt a planar configuration, despite the large stiffness variations in tensional direction, they fail to exhibit effective stiffness variations in compression and bending directions due to the planar structures. To address this drawback, a novel corrugated EA clutch is proposed in this wo...
