This disclosure relates to apparatus a multi-legged robot including at least one pair of actuators. Each actuator includes a pliable body. The pliable body includes a first portion having a first chamber, a second portion having a second chamber, where the second portion coupled to a distal end of the first portion. The pliable body includes a first inlet coupled to the first chamber, where the first portion is configured to bend upon receiving a first fluid via the first inlet and a second inlet coupled to the second chamber, where the second portion is configured to extend upon receiving a second fluid via the second inlet. The multi-legged robot includes a frame coupled to a proximate end of the first portion of each actuator.
