Double-Acting Soft Actuator for Soft Robotic Hand: A Bellow Pumping and Contraction Approach
When compressing a soft bellow, the bellow will contract and pump out the fluid inside the bellow. Utilizing this property, we propose a novel actuation method called compressing bellow actuation (CBA), which can output fluidic power and tendon-driven force simultaneously. Based on the CBA method, a...
