Evaluating Stacked Dielectric Elastomer Actuators as Soft Motor Units for Forming Artificial Muscles in Biomimetic Rehabilitation Robots

2024-09-18

Abstract excerpt

The recent commercial availability of stacked dielectric elastomer actuators (SDEAs) has unlocked new opportunities for their application as "artificial skeletal muscles" in rehabilitation robots and powered exoskeletons. Composed of multiple layers of thin, elastic capacitors, these actuators present a lightweight, soft, and acoustically noiseless alternative to traditional DC motor actuators commonly u...
