   here’s how they made this one( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEeaWvgLDrE&list=UU00FsZQU0lzS0LdlpfddDzw&index=8&feature=plcp ) you can also do look up soft robots on youtude for some other info.

   The basic idea is you pump air or some other working fluid into a silicone rubber bladder (ecoflec is the name of the silicone they use which can be found in a sample size large enough one or more this size of for $30 us online) if one side of the bladder is thinner that side with expand quicker bending the bladder towards the thicker side.
