DOI: 10.1002/adma. 201601842 voltages (100–300 V) can be achieved by using much
thinner elastomer films (3 μm),[14] but such films are very fragile and difficult to manipulate to …

The design and fabrication of a rolled dielectric elastomer actuator is described and the
parametric dependence of the displacement and blocked force on the actuator geometry, …

Dielectric elastomer actuators exhibit an unusual combination of large displacements,
moderate bandwidth, low power consumption, and mechanical impedance comparable with …

Soft robotics represents a new set of technologies aimed at operating in natural environments
and near the human body. To interact with their environment, soft robots require artificial …

A multilayer fabrication method has been used to create crawling soft robots based on
dielectric elastomer actuators. These actuators are created without the need for pre-stretch, …

Skin‐stimulation technology has attracted intense attention for virtual/augmented reality
applications and tactile‐feedback systems. However, bulky, heavy, and stiff characteristics of …

Soft robots require strong, yet flexible actuators for locomotion and manipulation tasks in
unstructured environments. Dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) are well suited for these …

In this paper we present the design of a fin-like dielectric elastomer actuator (DEA) that drives
a miniature autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV). The fin-like actuator is modular and …

Dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) are soft electromechanical transducers that have enabled
robotic, haptic, and optical applications. Despite their advantages in high specific energy…
