Predictive maintenance technicians have better things to do than walk up and down countless stairwells across a plant to point acoustic sensors and thermal cameras at equipment for hours at a time. If ...
Abstract: This paper presents a fast rolling soft robot (RSR) driven by dielectric elastomer. Through novel structure design based on multisegment dielectric elastomer minimum energy structure, the ...
Abstract: Electrically-driven soft robots based on piezoelectric actuators may enable compact form factors and maneuverability in complex environments. In most prior work, piezoelectric actuators are ...
