Performance Optimization of Polymer Fibre Actuators for Soft Robotics

Performance Optimization of Polymer Fibre Actuators for Soft Robotics

Analytical modeling of soft pneumatic actuators constitutes a powerful tool for the systematic design and characterization of these key components of soft robotics. Here, we maximize the quasi-static bending angle of a soft pneumatic actuator by optimizing its cross-section for a fixed positive pres...
