Dielectric elastomer minimum energy structure with a unidirectional actuation for a soft crawling robot: Design, modeling, and kinematic study
International Journal of Mechanical Sciences(2023)
Abstract
•A minimal energy structure actuator, featuring unidirectional strain is developed.•A peristaltic soft robot is design using the above novel actuator.•A theoretical model is established to characterize mechanics and kinematics.•The influence of design parameters is studied for stable locomotion.
