Fluidic solar actuation system

A fluidic solar actuation system, the fluidic solar actuation system comprising:

• a set of a plurality of fluidic solar actuators that each include:
• a top coupler;
• an angled bottom coupler having a top-end and respective first and second planar faces on opposing first and second sides of the top-end, the angled bottom coupler coupled to the top coupler via a linear one-degree-of-freedom rotatable joint between the top coupler and the angled bottom coupler, the linear one-degree-of-freedom rotatable joint having no more than one axis of rotation, and
• at least a first and second fluidic inflatable actuator, with the first fluidic inflatable actuator disposed on the first side of the angled bottom coupler engaging the first planar face and the second fluidic inflatable actuator disposed antagonistically from the first fluidic inflatable actuator on the second side of the angled bottom coupler engaging the second planar face;
• a shared fluid source that stores a fluid;
• a fluidic routing system comprising a plurality of fluid tubes configured to covey the fluid originating from the shared fluid source to each of the first and second fluidic inflatable actuators of each of the fluidic solar actuators of the set of the plurality of fluidic solar actuators, with a set of the first fluidic inflatable actuators being ganged so as to be fluidically connected and with a set of the second fluidic inflatable actuators being ganged so as to be fluidically connected;
• and
• a central electronic control system that controls a plurality of valves of a valve system, the valve system controlling conveyance of the fluid originating from the shared fluid source to each of the first and second fluidic inflatable actuators of each of the fluidic solar actuators of the set of the plurality of fluidic solar actuators, including to the ganged sets of the first and second fluidic inflatable actuators, the central electronic control system controlling conveyance of the fluid to cause each of the plurality of fluidic solar actuators to be positioned based at least in part a position of the sun by selectively introducing fluid from the shared fluid source into the first and second fluidic inflatable actuators of the fluidic solar actuators via the plurality of fluid tubes.
