Finite Element Modeling in the Design Process of 3D Printed Pneumatic Soft Actuators and Sensors

The modeling of soft structures, actuators, and sensors is challenging, primarily due to the high nonlinearities involved in such soft robotic systems. Finite element modeling (FEM) is an effective technique to represent soft and deformable robotic systems containing geometric nonlinearities due to...
