Book excerpt: "Advancements in software engineering have enabled the robotics industry to transition from the use of giant industrial robots to more friendly humanoid robots. Soft robotics is one of the key elements needed to advance the transition process by providing a safer way for robots to interact with the environment. Electroactive polymers (EAPs) are one of the best candidate materials for the next generation of soft robotic actuators and artificial muscles. Lightweight dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) provide optimal properties such as high elasticity, rapid response rates, mechanical robustness and compliance. However, for DEAs to become widely used as artificial muscles or soft actuators, there are current limitations, such as high actuation voltage requirements, control of actuation direction, and scaling, that need to be addressed. This study presents a novel approach inspired by the natural skeletal muscles to overcome the drawbacks of conventional DEAs. Instead of fabricating a large DEA device, smaller sub-units can be fabricated and bundled together to form larger actuators, similar to the way myofibrils form myocytes in skeletal muscles. Soft lithography and other microfabrication techniques were utilized to allow fabrication of silicone based multilayer stacked DEA structures, composed of hundreds of micro-sized DEA units with mechanically compliant electrodes. Experiments show that free-standing multilayer DEA structures can be fabricated using existing microfabrication tools. Three fabrication approaches, using spin coating, film casting and injection molding were evaluated to improve the repeatability of the fabrication process. Multi-layer DEA fibers can be actuated in sub-kV range while maintaining actuation ratio above 5%."--Abstract.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Electrostatic actuators, like Dielectric Elastomer Actuators (DEA), have provided new avenues of research in soft robotics due to their high strain, high energy density, simple physical structure and compliance. The actuation characteristics of a DEA are heavily influenced by electrode shape, materials and thickness homogeneity and producing reproducible electrodes results in better actuation that improves the applications that utilize DEAs. Current fabrication methods have limitations that prevent the rapid prototyping of different electrode designs consistently. The use of inkjet printing as a fabrication methods for electrodes is explored. Material properties, like viscosity and surface tension, play an important role in the development of a printable ink. The effects of these properties were analysed. To enable better optimization of inks, a reusable cartridge for the inkjet printer (Dimatix DMP 2850) used was developed. The ink development and printing of carbon-black electrodes was carried out initially. However, creating an ink and jetting waveform for carbon-based electrodes was seen to be a tedious, time-consuming task. A novel method of electrode fabrication using a printed sacrificial layer is presented as a means to deal with this issue. The development printable sacrificial layer ink is presented and a quantitative analysis of the effects of the addition of a surfactant to the ink is carried out. The method helps utilize the advantages of inkjet printing as a fabrication method while still allowing use of different electrode materials. The use of the printed sacrificial layer for the fabrication of microfluidic channels and reservoirs was explored. The process for creating a fully printed, DEA integrated microfluidic chip was presented and it was used for the fabrication of a hydraulically amplified self-healing electrostatic (HASEL) actuator , which is another type of a electrostatic actuator. Further developments would include refining the fabrication process and exploring its use in other electrostatic actuator applications.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dielectric elastomer (DE) is an important kind of electro active polymer. Its softness and unique movement generating mechanism make people recognize it as artificial muscle. Existing studies focusing on it have revealed many important properties of this soft material. Fundamental researches show the working principle of how DE material can convert electrical energy and mechanical energy bi-directionally. Various actuators, devices, and robots are also developed to show the great potential of DE material in future applications. However, DE material’s nonlinear visco-elasticity and uncommon configuration in applications pose significant challenge in the developing of practical DE applications. Starting from the very basics of DE material, the working principle, modeling work, and famous applications are reviewed. Based on these fundamental knowledge of DE material, fabrications of two types of DE actuators are attempted, which demonstrate and verify the promising usage of DE material in future’s soft actuator and robotic applications. DE material’s movement generating mechanism also gives the capability of self-sensing. Software methods, including polynomial fitting and artificial neural network, are used to realize the self-sensing function in DE actuator. Different applications of DE actuators are attempted. A DE diaphragm actuator for human pulse tracking purpose is designed, fabricated, and tested. Experimental results show it can convert human pulse data into compliant vibration with good accuracy, which shows it has great potential in future’s medical applications. By patterning the diaphragm actuator’s electrode, a new type of 2-DoF maneuverable lase manipulator is created. The manipulator is capable of tracking 2-DoF angular reference with soft and gearless structure. It is expected that this new type laser manipulator can be used in laser servo system under special environment.

This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soft robotic devices require highly stretchable and flexible materials to ensure that they can conform to delicate objects and work safely alongside humans. As a result, new flexible actuation technologies must be developed so that soft robotic platforms can achieve their desired function. Dielectric elastomer actuators are an emerging actuator technology that possesses high energy density in a lightweight package. However, since these actuators utilize a thin, soft elastomer film, they are particularly delicate and depending on their configuration, do not efficiently outcouple their outputted mechanical energy. Rigid frames, metallic springs, and other mechanisms have been used in the past to improve the performance of these actuators in various configurations, but these highly stiff components are not ideal for soft robotic applications. Novel strategies can be implemented to mitigate these issues. In this work, we highlight new strategies to create novel dielectric elastomer actuator configurations with high power density, large strokes, and high force output. First, we discuss the development of a core-free rolled dielectric elastomer. We then discuss a flexible DEA-based fluidic pump that can output high flowrates and withstand large pressures for its small size. Finally, we detail a novel mechanism to control the deformation direction of DEAs, and leverage this mechanism to create a patch-like haptic interface for virtual reality applications.

Significant development consists of new configurations, control mechanisms, and actuators based upon its applications. Despite significant improvements in modern robotics, the biologically inspired robots has taken the center stage. Inspired by nature, biologically inspired robots are called ‘soft robots’. Within these robots lies a secret ingredient: the actuator. Soft robotic development has been driven by the idea of developing actuators that are like human muscle and are known as ‘artificial muscle’. Among different materials suitable for the development of artificial muscle, the dielectric elastomer actuator (DEA) is capable of large deformation by applying an electric field. Theoretical formulation for DEA was performed based upon the constitutive hyperelastic models and was validated by using finite element method (FEM) using ABAQUS. For FEM, multistep analysis was performed to apply pre-stretch to the membrane before applying actuation voltage. Based on the validation of DEA, different configurations of DEA were investigated. Helical dielectric elastomer actuator and origami dielectric elastomer actuator were investigated using theoretical modeling. Comparisons were made with FEM to validate the model. This study focus on the theoretical and FEM analysis of strain within the different configuration of DEA and how the actuation strain of the dielectric elastomer can be translated into contraction and/or bending of the actuator."--Abstract.

Book excerpt: Dielectric Elastomers as Electromechanical Transducers provides a comprehensive and updated insight into dielectric elastomers; one of the most promising classes of polymer-based smart materials and technologies. This technology can be used in a very broad range of applications, from robotics and automation to the biomedical field. The need for improved transducer performance has resulted in considerable efforts towards the development of devices relying on materials with intrinsic transduction properties. These materials, often termed as “smart or “intelligent , include improved piezoelectrics and magnetostrictive or shape-memory materials. Emerging electromechanical transduction technologies, based on so-called ElectroActive Polymers (EAP), have gained considerable attention. EAP offer the potential for performance exceeding other smart materials, while retaining the cost and versatility inherent to polymer materials. Within the EAP family, “dielectric elastomers , are of particular interest as they show good overall performance, simplicity of structure and robustness. Dielectric elastomer transducers are rapidly emerging as high-performance “pseudo-muscular actuators, useful for different kinds of tasks. Further, in addition to actuation, dielectric elastomers have also been shown to offer unique possibilities for improved generator and sensing devices. Dielectric elastomer transduction is enabling an enormous range of new applications that were precluded to any other EAP or smart-material technology until recently. This book provides a comprehensive and updated insight into dielectric elastomer transduction, covering all its fundamental aspects. The book deals with transduction principles, basic materials properties, design of efficient device architectures, material and device modelling, along with applications. Concise and comprehensive treatment for practitioners and academics Guides the reader through the latest developments in electroactive-polymer-based technology Designed for ease of use with sections on fundamentals, materials, devices, models and applications

Book excerpt: The author has maintained two open-source MATLAB Toolboxes for more than 10 years: one for robotics and one for vision. The key strength of the Toolboxes provide a set of tools that allow the user to work with real problems, not trivial examples. For the student the book makes the algorithms accessible, the Toolbox code can be read to gain understanding, and the examples illustrate how it can be used —instant gratification in just a couple of lines of MATLAB code. The code can also be the starting point for new work, for researchers or students, by writing programs based on Toolbox functions, or modifying the Toolbox code itself. The purpose of this book is to expand on the tutorial material provided with the toolboxes, add many more examples, and to weave this into a narrative that covers robotics and computer vision separately and together. The author shows how complex problems can be decomposed and solved using just a few simple lines of code, and hopefully to inspire up and coming researchers. The topics covered are guided by the real problems observed over many years as a practitioner of both robotics and computer vision. It is written in a light but informative style, it is easy to read and absorb, and includes a lot of Matlab examples and figures. The book is a real walk through the fundamentals of robot kinematics, dynamics and joint level control, then camera models, image processing, feature extraction and epipolar geometry, and bring it all together in a visual servo system.
