Novel dielectric elastomer structure of soft robot

Abstract: Inspired from the natural invertebrates like worms and starfish, we propose a novel elastomeric smart structure. The smart structure can function as a soft robot. The soft robot is made from a flexible elastomer as the body and driven by dielectric elastomer as the muscle. Finite element simulations based on nonlinear field theory are conducted to investigate the working condition of the structure, and guide the design of the smart structure. The effects of the prestretch, structural stiffness and voltage on t… Show more

“…Initial properties of BMF (developed by 'toki corporation' Japan) are verified and mechanical simulations of soft-bot are carried out using solid works 2013 infinite element analysis which includes displacement and strain analysis. Finite element simulations based on nonlinear field theory are used to investigate the working condition of the structure, and guide the design of the smart structure [53]. In mathematics, the finite element method is a numerical technique for finding approximate solutions to boundary value problems for partial differential equations.…”
