Abstract

A soft pneumatic actuator for soft robots was designed in this study. Based on the Yeoh model and the principle of virtual work, the nonlinear relationship between the drive pressure and bending deformation was deduced. The finite element model and prototype were used to verify its validity, and this results provided the basis for the parameterized design and optimization of the soft actuator.
