Figure 14
The six panel comparison presents actuator bending at 1 bar, 2 bar and 3 bar in two rows. The upper row is labelled material parameters obtained using multiple points optimisation, and the lower row is labelled material parameters obtained using tip point optimisation. In both rows, the segmented actuator bends progressively further as pressure increases from 1 bar to 3 bar. Each pressure condition contains an overlaid actuator profile representing the corresponding optimisation result.Comparison of real bent actuators and simulated ones, using different material parameters
