The Design, Kinematics and Torque Analysis of the Self-Bending Soft Contraction Actuator

This article presents the development of a self-bending contraction actuator (SBCA) through the analysis of its structure, kinematics, and torque formulas, and then explores its applications. The proposed actuator has been fabricated by two methods to prove the efficiency of the human body inspirati...
