Pressure-driven Bending Actuators

Pressure-Driven Bending Actuators is a type of soft robotic actuator that operates through the controlled application of fluid pressure to induce directional bending deformations in an elastic structure, distinguishing itself from other actuators by converting internal pressure changes directly into programmable, reversible bending motions without relying on external mechanical joints or rigid components.
