Abstract

This paper presents the design and dynamic modelling of a soft pneumatic actuator that can be used to mimic snake or worm-like locomotion.The bond graph technique is used to derive the dynamics of the actuator.To validate the accuracy of the derived dynamic model, we conduct numerical simulations using 20-sim$$^{\text{\textregistered} }$$ software.Experimental results demonstrate that the soft actuator achieves bidirectional bending and linear displacement, which is essential for mimicking snake or worm-like locomotion.
