A Robotic System for Automated Manufacturing of Dielectric Elastomer Actuators
Van Remenar, Anatol Gogoj, Ang Li +4
This letter presents an automated robotic manufacturing system for soft capacitors which operate as actuators and sensors. Emphasis is placed on the two processes that most directl…
Cuttlebot: a platform demonstration for complex, autonomous, bio-inspired swimmers
Alexander Nicholas White, Ang Leo Li, Alexander Yin +5
Increasing interest in deep-sea operations and resources motivates the development of ecologically sensitive but environmentally durable robots. Dielectric elastomer actuator artif…
A Soft Robotic Demonstration in the Stratosphere
Codrin Tugui, Tirth Thakar, Anatol Gogoj +5
Machines designed for operation in Space, as well as other extreme environments, need to be both resilient and adaptable when mission parameters change. Soft robots offer advantage…
A Robotic Testing Platform for Pipelined Discovery of Resilient Soft Actuators
Ang Li, Alexander Yin, Alexander White +6
Short lifetime under high electrical fields hinders the widespread robotic application of linear dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs). Systematic scanning is difficult due to time…
