Soft Actuator Modeling

Soft Actuator Modeling is a computational or mathematical framework that characterizes the dynamic behavior, deformation, and force generation of soft actuators by integrating their inherent material compliance, nonlinear elasticity, and environmental interactions, distinguishing it from rigid or conventional actuator modeling through its focus on large deformations, distributed compliance, and multi-physic responsiveness in soft robotic systems.
