By embedding pneumatic actuators in a soft material inspired by a biological muscle fibril architecture, and developing a simple finite element simulation of the same, tunable biomimetic motion can be achieved with fully soft structures, exemplified here by an active left ventricle simulator.}, keywords = {biomimetic motion, embedded actuators, Pneumatic actuators, soft actuated material, three-dimensional motion}, issn = {1521-4095}, doi = {10.1002/adma.201304018}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/adma.201304018}, author = {Ellen T Roche and Wohlfarth, Robert and Overvelde, Johannes TB and Nikolay V.
