Traditional actuation system such as electric and pneumatic actuator has obvious advantages and disadvantages. To combine advantages and compensate disadvantages of the traditional actuation, a pneumatic actuation system with an internal air pressure source is noteworthy approach. In this paper, a soft pneumatic actuation system based on origami pump is described for haptic feedback glove. To improve wearability, an origami pump is introduced because the origami pump is much lighter than air compressor. The miniaturized electric actuation system is also designed with 3D printed planetary gear in order to reduce the volume of the system. To figure out the performance of the system, shrinkage distance of origami pump was measured with vision camera. The pressure in the origami pump was also estimated to understand the performance of the system.
