A Novel Spider-Inspired Rotary-Rolling Diaphragm Actuator with Linear Torque Characteristic and High Mechanical Efficiency

We present a novel, fluid-driven rotary-rolling diaphragm actuator with direct rotary output. Its working principle is inspired by the spider leg's hydraulically operated joints and the diaphragm design of rolling diaphragm actuators. The new actuator is fully sealed, shows minimal output torqu...
