A Portable Real-Time Test Bench for Dielectric Elastomer Actuators

Abstract: Recently, a significant amount of research has been devoted to soft robots. Artificial muscles belong to the most important components of soft robots. Dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) represent the technology that comes closest to the capabilities of a natural muscle, making them the best candidates for artificial muscles in robotics and prosthetics applications. To develop these applications, an analysis of DEAs in a test bench must be possible. It is important that the environmental conditions are known… Show more

“…On the one hand, the measurement data used for the fitting exhibits more noise. The signal has a fluctuation of 4.7 µm [61]. On the other hand, the GKV model in equation (10) assumes that the induced stress is constant.…”

“…The use of a second actuator for the creep experiments had setup-related reasons. The second actuator was permanently mounted in its test bench [61] to avoid errors arising from different actuator positions under the laser sensor during various measurements. An effort was made to keep the influence on the identification, optimisation, and subsequent validation processes as low as possible by using a second actuator of the same type and taking into account the slightly different dimensions between the two actuators (compare tables S3, S5, S9 and S10 in the supplementary materials).…”
