Flexible Actuators

Flexible actuators are devices that produce movement or force while being adaptable and bendable. Unlike traditional rigid actuators, they can conform to complex shapes and surfaces, making them ideal for applications like soft robotics, wearable devices, and medical tools. They often use materials such as silicone, fabric, or other flexible substances, and can operate through various mechanisms like pneumatics, hydraulics, or smart materials that change shape when stimulated. This flexibility allows for safer, more adaptable, and more versatile interactions with dynamic environments or delicate objects.
