Biomimetic Dielectric Elastomer Actuators
The First IEEE/RAS-EMBS International Conference on Biomedical Robotics and Biomechatronics, 2006. BioRob 2006., 2006Polymer actuators offer attractive properties as biomimetic devices capable of mimicking functional characteristics of biological muscles and structures. This paper presents the ongoing research activities and the latest results achieved in our lab in the development of soft actuators made of a particular class of electroactive polymers, consisting of ...

Actuation capability of a dielectric elastomer balloon actuator
2016 12th IEEE International Conference on Control and Automation (ICCA), 2016Dielectric elastomers show great promise for soft actuators. As the allowable deformation range of dielectric elastomers is strictly limited by the material failures, the actuation ability of a dielectric elastomer actuator is accordingly bounded. Although the material failures have been well studied, little literature has been released regarding the ...

CHARACTERIZATION OF DIELECTRIC ELASTOMER PLANAR ACTUATORS
Sensors and Microsystems, 2002This work intends to extend the electromechanical characterisation of dielectric elastomer actuators. Planar actuators were realised with a 50m-thick film of an acrylic elastomer coated with compliant electrodes. The isotonic transverse strain, the isometric transverse stress and the driving current, due to a 2 s high voltage impulse, were measured for

Dielectric elastomer actuators for tactile displays
World Haptics 2009 - Third Joint EuroHaptics conference and Symposium on Haptic Interfaces for Virtual Environment and Teleoperator Systems, 2009In this paper we discuss dielectric elastomer actuators (DEA) as one of the most promising technologies in electroactive polymers (EAP). For tactile display applications a large number of actuator elements is essential. The multilayer technology presented here offers the possibility to build up independent actuators and arrays at a high density within ...

Balloon actuators based on the dielectric elastomer
2017 IEEE International Conference on Industrial Technology (ICIT), 2017In this paper, we present a theoretical and experimental study about the carrying capacity of flight dielectric elastomer (DE) balloon in electromechanical performance. This paper deals with some structures which are consist of helium balloons or air balloons based on theoretical analysis.

Modelling and Control of a Dielectric Elastomer Actuator
2018 3rd International Conference on Advanced Robotics and Mechatronics (ICARM), 2018Dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) stick out among explored soft actuators due to their advantages of large deformation, high energy density, fast response and low cost. However, DEAs still are far away from robotic practical applications because of the difficulty of the actuation control.

Twisted Dielectric Elastomer stack Actuator
2016 13th International Conference on Ubiquitous Robots and Ambient Intelligence (URAI), 2016The purpose of this research is to make an actuator which is easily adaptable to use as artificial muscle by improving structure of stack-type Dielectric Elastomer Actuator (DEA). In contrast with previous stack-type actuator, Single body Dielectric Elastomer stack Actuators (SDEAs) is connected as single body without external frame so that it can be ...
