Design of an Active Morphable Pneumatic Bilayer Planar Actuator Inspired by Starfish

RA-L 2026

Inspired by the starfish's active deformation to stably adhere to surfaces of different shapes, this paper designs an Active Pneumatic Bilayer Planar Actuator (A-PBPA) for surface morphing. The innovation is threefold: firstly, by replacing the fixed connecting rods between top and bottom layers in
