Figure 7
The two panel comparison presents a segmented actuator in a bent configuration. The left panel contains a simulated actuator profile with repeated slots along its outer edge and a scale from 0.000 to 0.075. The right panel presents the corresponding experimental view of the actuator fixed at the left and bending downwards towards the lower right. The overall curvature and segment positions are similar between the simulated and experimental profiles.Comparison of the bending of the simulated model and the real version actuator
