摘要
Soft inflatable actuators show several advantages in flexible and versatile behaviours. A wide range of motions such as bending, expanding and twisting motions has been obtained by introducing oblique structures in silicon-based actuators. However, this mechanical programming allows an actuator to generate one single behaviour while inflated. In this paper we propose an online programming of behaviour of a soft textile inflatable actuator. Four strings are attached to the tip of the actuator and travelling through its longitudinal axis to the fixed side where they are pulled with different tension forces. The applied forces on all strings define the actuator behaviour when inflated. Bending in different directions, twisting, and elongation behaviours were generated online by varying the strings pulling forces and the air pressure of the actuator. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V.
