Characterization of a soft pneumatic actuator using fe modelling
Actuators are devices that provides controlled changes regarding their displacement and position. They can be triggered by different inputs, one of them being fluids. Pneumatic actuators are commonly used in different areas. Rigid pneumatic actuators present multiple disadvantages, in size, weight, etc. limiting the application in other areas like soft robotic and biomechanics.
On the other hand, soft actuators possess big advantages in comparison with the rigid ones. The materials used giv...
