Elastofluidic

In some cases, the fluidic and elastomeric types combine in a particular application to form elastofluidic combinations, as we shall see below.

In pursuit of the goal of effective soft robotics researchers have explored the idea of a pneumatic elastofluidic actuator, one which expands and deforms in response to applied pressure.

An elephant's trunk was a marvel of elastofluidic engineering – a tool both supple and strong, sensitive and expressive.
