- This journal paper presents the first soft pneumatic pump for soft robotics driven by dielectric elastomers. Key output of the £97k EPSRC First Grant project on untethered soft robotics [PI Conn, EP/P025846/1]. Led to UoB University Research Fellowship (PI Conn, £70k internal) on fluid control systems for urinary incontinence with North Bristol NHS Trust. Selected as sole feature on the journal front cover (09/2019) and presented at two international conferences (IEEE International Conference on Soft Robotics 2019; EuroEAP 2019). Generated written approaches to Conn from international companies including Festo AG (Dr Metin Giousouf) and Wacker Chemie AG (Dr Renate Glowacki).
