Soft, Rotating Pneumatic Actuator [PDF]
Soft Robotics, 2017 This article describes a soft pneumatic actuator that generates cyclical motion. The actuator consists of several (three, four, or five) chambers (arranged around the circumference of a circle surrounding a central rod) that can be actuated independently using negative pressure (or partial vacuum).

Modelling of a Pneumatic Actuator
International Review of Mechanical Engineering (IREME), 2019 This paper refers to the modelling of a pneumatic actuator coupled to a mechanical system (mass-spring-damper). These actuators contain a clean technology compared to hydraulic actuators, a good relation between power and mass supported, and low cost in relation to electric actuators.
