Soft actuators have shown advantages of adaptiveness, large deformation, and safe human-robot interaction, making them suitable for various applications. Herein, a novel soft flat tube twisting actuator (SFTTA) is proposed. The SFTTA is composed of a folded flat tube sandwiched between two silicone rubber laminates. When inflated by compressed air, the folded corners of the flat tube tend to unfol...
