Fabric-based pneumatic actuators (FPAs) with asymmetric chambers offer exceptional lightweight properties and high output force, making them ideal for soft gloves. However, current characterization and modeling methods for FPAs are generally limited, focusing primarily on single flexion chambers wit
Soft pneumatic actuators (SPAs), due to their compliance and adaptiveness, are promising solutions for manipulation. However, most SPAs have only simple motion modes and cannot perform the compound motion required for complex manipulation. In this letter, we propose a parallel-chamber actuator capab
Fabric-based pneumatic actuators (FPAs) are promising in the design of soft wearable assistive gloves, owing to the lightweight and compliant advantages. However, the existing FPAs generally suffer from small output force, limiting users' applications. This letter presents a new class of high-force
