Design and Characterisation of a Muscle-Mimetic Dielectrophoretic Ratcheting Actuator

RA-L 2022

The high potential impact of soft robotics is hampered by a lack of actuators that combine high-force, high-work and high-power capabilities, limiting application in real-world problems. Typically, soft actuators are tuned to an application by gearing - for example, trading power for strain. An exam

RoboHeart: A Bi-Directional Zipping Actuator

RA-L 2022

Widespread adoption of soft robotic technologies is held back by the limitations of existing soft robotic actuators. One cause of the limited performance of soft actuators is their uni-polar stroke, which means only part of the work-cycle is powered. In this work, we introduce RoboHeart, a bi-direct
