Abstract:Soft pneumatic actuators with a corrugated structure have the advantage of low inflation pressure and a large actuation range and have great potential for use in grippers. However, they are generally difficult to have both large deformation and high force density performance. Inspired by the hydraulic joints of spider legs, this paper designs a multi-cavity soft-pneumatic actuator with a corrugated V-fold structure, which realizes bending through the deformation of the air cavity structure instead of the tradi… Show more
