Bio Inspired Fast Actuation by Mechanical Instability of Thermoresponding Hydrogel Structures
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Inspired by natural plants, thermoresponding hydrogel (TRH) structures have been designed to trigger mechanical instability with fast actuation. Tough Caalginate/poly(Nisopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) hydrogel has been ...
Electromechanical Control and Stability Analysis of a Soft Swim-Bladder Robot Driven by Dielectric Elastomer
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Compared to the conventional rigid robots, the soft robots driven by soft active materials possess unique advantages with their high adaptability in field exploration and seamless interaction with human. As one type of ...
