Abstract
The present disclosure provides a soft poly-limb system, comprising a first actuator segment, a second actuator segment, and a third actuator segment forming the soft poly-limb. Each of the first actuator segment, the second actuator segment, and the third actuator segment may comprise a plurality of ring reinforced actuators. The soft poly-limb system may further comprise a control system whereby a user may control the soft poly-limb.
