Abstract

Quality control is a key step in any manufacturing process in the industry. However, it is still an unexplored area in soft robotics, especially in the production of soft actuators. This article proposes a quality control method based on a series of specific tests and analyzes using computer vision to verify the performance of these actuators and identify possible manufacturing defects. Facilitating automation and faster implementation of quality control will help bring this technology closer to industrialization.
