Exploiting a Simple Asymmetric Pleating Method to Realize a Textile Based Bending Actuator
RA-L 2023
This work presents the design, modeling and control of an asymmetrically pleated textile actuator (APTA). The presented actuator utilizes a simple inflatable beam which is constrained asymmetrically using a pleat that is fixed only to a single side. Due to the difference in length between the constr
