Toward design optimization of pneumatic balloon actuators (PBAs), we have performed FEM simulation and demonstrated its applicability to compute and characterize the bending motion of PBAs fabricated from PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane)-based materials. It is shown that typical PBA motions could be successfully captured in the present simulation through the comparison of the computational results obtained in the linearly-elastic region with the actual motions of fabricated devices. It is also indicated that the longitudinally-divided balloon structure presently examined could achieve the bending characteristics with more flexibility compared to the conventional single-balloon structure.
