Model and Validation of a Highly Extensible and Tough Actuator based on a Ballooning Membrane

Soft robots are known for their ability to comply and having superior extensibility. However, one of the limitations of most of these robots is that they can stand only a limited amount of load before buckling, and they feature a non-negligible initial height. Hybrid soft-rigid actuators seem to off…
