Short summary
This paper proposes a new positional control method for soft pneumatic actuators. The pressure parameter feedback model (PPFM) of the airbag is obtained by adjusting the pressure input through a proportional valve, collecting the air pressure inside the airbag and obtaining the airbag expansion height. The pressure input signal is changed according to the PPFM of the airbag to control the position of the soft pneumatic actuator.
