Wireless Powered Dielectric Elastomer Actuator [PDF]
IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, 2021 The need for cable connection with soft robotic systems suppresses the benefits granted by their softness and flexibility. Such systems can be untethered by equipping batteries or by relying on non-electrical actuation mechanisms. However, these approaches cannot simultaneously support long-term and intelligent operations.
