Evaluation of Spiral Pneumatic Rubber Actuator Using Finite Element Analysis for Radial Transportation

Emerging actuators with various soft materials and a traveling wave motion are frequently discussed. Various configurations have been proposed and their resulting performances investigated, but it remains challenging to realize large strokes. This study presents an experimentally validated nonlinear...
