First of all, the actuator is fundamental for designing, modeling, and controlling of soft robots. This paper presents a new type of pneumatic trunk-like soft actuator, which contains a chamber for stiffness adjustment in addition to three chambers for driving. Thus, the salient feature of the proposed actuator is the ability of stiffness self-regulation. The structure of the proposed actuator is described in detail. Then the theoretical models for elongation and bending motion of the actuator are established. The elongation as well as single-chamber and multi-chamber driving bending of the actuator were tested to verify the mathematical models. Finally, a dual-segment soft robot based on the proposed trunk-like soft actuator was developed and tested by experiments, which implies its potential application in practice.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0263574719001012","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,11]],"date-time":"2019-07-11T04:21:03Z","timestamp":1562818863000},"page":"732-746","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Trunk-like Soft Actuator: Design, Modeling, and Experiments"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"38","author":[{"given":"Guanjun","family":"Bao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Lingfeng","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Yaqi","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Shibo","family":"Cai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Fang","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Qinghua","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Libin","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0263574719001012_ref32","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1088\/1748-3182\/8\/3\/036008"},{"key":"S0263574719001012_ref25","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/adma.201203002"},{"key":"S0263574719001012_ref24","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089\/soro.2016.0021"},{"key":"S0263574719001012_ref21","first-page":"2901","volume-title":"IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation","author":"Fra\u015b","year":"2015"},{"key":"S0263574719001012_ref20","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1088\/1748-3182\/4\/1\/015006"},{"key":"S0263574719001012_ref18","first-page":"3825","volume-title":"Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation","author":"Held","year":"2012"},{"key":"S0263574719001012_ref16","first-page":"208","article-title":"Static actuating characteristics of intelligent pneumatic muscle","volume":"40","author":"Binrui","year":"2009","journal-title":"Trans.
