A soft robotic actuator is disclosed. The actuator includes a first portion with a substantially constant profile and a second portion with a regularly varying profile, and bends in a pressure-dependent fashion as the internal pressure within the actuator is increased or decreased. The present invention addresses the needs described above by providing actuators that are configured to perform new fundamental motions through the inclusion of design elements which can be configured, through the manipulation of a relatively short list of parameters, to undergo specific pressure-actuated changes which can be designed using quantitative modeling techniques.
