AB  - In this study two novel forms of textile-assisted direct ink writing (DIW) of room temperature vulcanised (RTV) silicones were explored: Silicone DIW on spandex fabric, and Silicone DIW on dissolvable fabrics. These processes were evaluated by incorporating resulting components into 4 soft robotic devices: impact resistant elbow pads, a soft passive suction cup gripper, and two fiber embedded inflatable tendril-like soft grippers.
