Abstract:To fully harness the potential of dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) in soft robots, advanced control methods are needed. An important groundwork for this is the development of a control-oriented model that can adequately describe the underlying dynamics of a DEA. Existing models commonly focus on custom-made DEAs, simplifying the modeling process due to well-known specifications and actuator structures. However, for commercial actuators, only information from the manufacturer is available, necessitating ve… Show more
