A Novel and Practicable Approach for Determining the Beam Parameters of Soft Pneumatic Multi-Chamber Bending Actuators

The design of many pneumatic soft actuators is based on multiple chambers in parallel alignment. The Cosserat beam theory is an established technique for modeling this kind of actuator, where existing approaches mainly differ in the parameters being required for simulation. The modeling approach pre...
