This is great. I love it when academic research is broken down to such an accessible level. This kind of documentation beats the pants off of reading academic journals or emailing authors when you need to figure out the basics of a technique like soft robotics.
It would be interesting to see a website that did this kind of translation for more scientific techniques. I wonder if anyone is working on that yet?
As far as I know this is totally unprecedented. This level of detail and openness from hardware research is just staggering. All I can say is a very enthusiastic "Thank you!" to the team that put this together. I will have a lot of use for the tools and tutorials.
What a great resource. Really wonder how to program these actuators to get your desired motion. Using kinematics is pretty much out of the window with these systems. Everything uses learning algorithms I presume.
