Ionic Polymer-Metal Composites (IPMC) As Biomimetic Sensors and Actuators
This paper discusses a number of recent findings in connection with ion-exchange polymer-noble metal composites (IPMC) as biomimetic sensors and actuators. These smart composites exhibit characteristics of both actuators and sensors. Strips of these composites can undergo large bending and flapping displacement if an electric field is imposed across their thickness. Thus, in this sense they are...
متن کاملA Short Review on Fabrication Methods of Micro-Cantilever for Ionic Electroactive Polymer Sensors/Actuators
Micro-electroactive polymers have wide applications from industry to healthcare. Artificial muscles, microvalves, microswitches, haptic sensing, blood pressure and pulse monitoring are some potential applications for micro-electroactive polymers. The most advantage of micro-electroactive polymers as sensors and actuators is bio-compatibility and low power threshold for large deformations...
متن کاملPolymer Actuators for Micro Robotic Applications
In this thesis a multilayer actuator structure is developed for the I-SWARM project. In order to build an energy efficient and low voltage actuator system for the 3x3x3 mm robot, the resonance drive mode in combination with a ten layer multilayer structure build upon the most suitable substrate material was used. Two different sizes of the locomotion module were built. The first one is five tim...
متن کاملJAIN et al: MICRO GRIPPER FOR MICROMANIPULATION USING IONIC POLYMER METAL COMPOSITES
Electro active polymers (EAPs) exhibit large electrically induced strains (bending or stretching) with electrical stimuli. EAPs are utilized as actuators in micro gripper and micromanipulator in micro robotics activities. Remote center compliance (RCC) based micro gripper is developed to facilitate insertion of peg-in-hole (PIH) for micro assembly operations. An effect of RCC compliance during ...
متن کاملEfficiency of Swimming Microrobots Using Ionic Polymer Metal Composite Actuators
In this paper, we present a survey of sh-like propulsion at millimeter scale in order to build high eÆciency swimming microrobots. We begin with a mechanical study of the sh-like propulsion. The mechanical model we used shows that undulatory motions are more eÆcient than oscillatory motions. We applied these theoretical results to the design and the realization of a microrobot propelled by the ...
