Untethered thin dielectric elastomer actuated soft robot
Xi Wang, Jing Liu, Siqian Li +4
Thin dielectric elastomer actuator (DEA) features a unique in-plane configuration, enabling low-profile designs capable of accessing millimetre-scale narrow spaces. However, most e…
Design and Characterization of a Micro-Vibration Adhesion System
Siqian Li, Xi Wang, Jung-Che Chang +1
In recent years, miniature wall-climbing robots have attracted widespread attention due to their significant potential in equipment inspection and in-situ repair applications. Trad…
Design, manufacturing, and inverse dynamic modeling of soft parallel robots actuated by dielectric elastomer actuators
Jung-Che Chang, Xi Wang, Dragos Axinte +1
Soft parallel robots with their manipulation safety and low commercial cost show a promising future for delicate operations and safe human-robot interactions. However, promoting th…
Bi-stable thin soft robot for in-plane locomotion in narrow space
Xi Wang, Jung-che Chang, Feiran Wang +2
Dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs), also recognized as artificial muscle, have been widely developed for the soft locomotion robot. With the complaint skeleton and miniaturized…
