Average hardness measured in the centre of each touchpad using the constriction, compression, magnetic and vacuum actuation techniques. Also shown is the maximum hardness achieved using an unregulated vacuum pump (−100 kPa) which is the current state-of-the-art for particle jamming-based soft robots. Error bars show the minimum and maximum hardness measured elsewhere on the surface.
