Bioinspired Soft Actuators for High Bending Stiffness and Flexible Spatial Locomotion

Soft pneumatic actuators often struggle to achieve both a high degree of freedom and high bending stiffness simultaneously. In this letter, we present a bionic soft pneumatic actuator inspired by the intricate musculature of the elephant trunk, which employs a dual actuation mode of transverse-longi
