Soft Ionic Electroactive Polymer Actuators with Tunable Non-Linear Angular Deformation
The most rational approach to fabricate soft robotics is the implementation of soft actuators. Conventional soft electromechanical actuators exhibit linear or circular deformation, based on their design. This study presents the use of conjugated polymers, Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) to locally vary ion permeability of the ionic electroactive polymer actua...
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 کاملElectro-mechanical modelling and identification of electroactive polymer actuators as smart robotic manipulators
Electroactive polymer (EAP) actuators, also known as artificial muscles, have remarkable properties such as low energy consumption, low weight, low actuation foot-print, compliance and bio-compatibility. Several methodologies have been proposed to model and analyse their quasi-static bending behaviour with negligible attention paid to their dynamic behaviour. We, therefore, report on an enhance...
متن کاملBiomimetic soft multifunctional miniature aquabots.
Engineered locomotive systems are widespread on the macro scale (e.g., planes, trains, automobiles), yet miniaturized mobile systems are largely limited to the research lab. In particular, integration of specific functions such as sensing or drug delivery into a small robot is a great challenge. The ability to miniaturize parts affecting motion, such as MEMS-based components and electroactive p...
متن کاملElectromechanical Modelling of Ionic Electroactive Polymer Actuators
Migration of ions under electric field is the phenomenon behind the mechanical deformation of ionic polymer actuators. This transport process is influenced by numerous factors depending on the physical, chemical and electrical properties of the material used [1]. Among them porosity and tortuosity are one of the main influencing factors that modifies ion channels and so the properties of the ma...
