Earthworm-like soft robots have been widely studied for various applications, such as medical endoscopy and pipeline inspection. Many actuation modes have been chosen to drive the soft robots, including pneumatic actuators, dielectric elastomeric actuators, and shape memory actuators. Pneumatic actuators stand out since the soft robots with pneumatic actuation can produce relatively large forces a...
