Fig. 2: Physical and design analysis of FLEXER.
From: Fabric-based lamina emergent MXene-based electrode for electrophysiological monitoring

Kinetic analysis of pneumatic actuation: Three actuation snapshots of a the straightened simple linear shape of FLEXER and b the three-legged FLEXER, along with corresponding distance, speed, and angle changes over time. c Contact stability measured by comparing the differentiation of force to time of the balloon-type and three-legged FLEXER. d Introduction of different SL widths and numbers in FLEXER. e Evaluation of 16 multi-legged symmetric FLEXER variants. f Multi-legged symmetric FLEXER contact force based on an applied pneumatic pressure of 5 psi. The plane represents Eq. (1). g Force distribution of two- and five-legged FLEXERs on a 3 × 3 grid division of the contact area. h Standard deviation of the contact force for each partition based on the number of SLs of FLEXERs, referring contact force distribution data from Fig. 2g and Supplementary Fig. 13.
