In this paper, we propose a simple analytical model for pneu-net soft actuator. The model is based on Euler– Bernoulli finite strain hyperelastic thin cantilever beam theory. The deformation of the air chambers is modelled using infinitesimal strain membrane theory. The proposed theoretical model estimates the deformation and force characteristics of the actuator. The developed model accounts the ...
