Abstract
A blister-like thermo-pneumatic soft actuator (BTSA) is developed as a bio-inspired device (the artificial muscle deflecting scales, spines and fur fibers). It holds great promise for biomedical applications where artificially grown skin patches should be removed from an underlying substrate without being damaged. The fabrication process of the BTSA is simple, and inexpensive.Keywords
