Soft robotics is an emerging research subject showing great promise for applications where traditional and rigid robotics is limited, for example, creating stroking sensation by using soft robotics. The purpose of this master's thesis project is to convey caress by designing and manufacturing a wearable haptic soft belt with locomotion. This device is mainly composed of pneumatic artificial muscles, pressurized actuator and control loop by Arduino. The locomotion of this device is realized through the elongation, shortening and position change of tubular pneumatic artificial muscles which was inspired by inchworm locomotion. Several different methods and materials were tested in the experiment. The results show that the device based on the principle of different friction successfully realizes the expected function.
