Design Optimization of a Novel Networked Electromagnetic Soft Actuators System Based on Branch and Bound Algorithm

This paper presents a design optimization framework based on Branch and Bound Algorithm for novel networked electromagnetic soft actuators.The soft actuators work based on the operating principle of solenoids but are made of intrinsically soft materials.We confirmed that by scaling down the size of the soft actuators, their force to volume ratio in
