Scalable High‐Force Zipping Electrostatic Actuators
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.An electrostatic actuator architecture is presented that combines high energy density with forces and strokes suited for wearable soft robotics. By folding patterned thin films into a scalable honeycomb of zipping units, performance becomes tunable through series–parallel design, achieving over 40 N and 28 J/kg.
