Rotary motion and manipulation using electro-hydraulic actuator with asymmetric electrodes

Soft robotics require unique and novel actuators for various applications. Therefore, a novel soft electro-hydraulic actuator is proposed and its ability to manipulate a spherical object on an active plate is demonstrated. The proposed actuator has two actuation parts with asymmetric electrodes. Two types of deformations are created by applying voltages to the asymmetric electrodes of the actuator...
