Rapid motion in soft pneumatic robots is typically achieved through actuators that either use a fast volume input generated from pressure control, employ an integrated power source, such as chemical explosions, or are designed to embed elastic instabilities in the body of the robot. This paper presents a bi-shell valve that can fast actuate soft actuators neither relying on the fast volume input provided by pressure control strategies nor requiring modifications to the architecture of the actuat ...[more]
