“…The approach proposed here has general validity and can be extended to general pumping devices made of soft material. It can be applied to evaluate chambers' performance in artificial hearts and other devices for physiologic support or soft robotic devices (Cohrs et al, 2017;Kohll et al, 2019;Mao et al, 2020).…”

“…These probably took the lead from mammalian heart to improve understanding the various aspects of pumping function of cardiac chambers (Baillargeon et al, 2014;Pedrizzetti et al, 2012;Pedrizzetti and Domenichini, 2005;Quarteroni et al, 2017;Seemann et al, 2019;Seo and Mittal, 2013). Later extending to artificial hearts as well as to other devices for physiologic support or for soft robotic devices (Cohrs et al, 2017;Kohll et al, 2019;Mao et al, 2020).…”

“…Recently, many soft actuators have been inspired by this design. A soft fiber-reinforced bending finger ( Figure 7 a) was fabricated by Mao et al, and one chamber of the soft finger expands with the internal pressure generated by the pump, while the other two chambers, which act as containers for the working medium, contract, eventually causing the finger to bend [ 52 ]. Subsequently, this finger-type actuator realized bidirectional motion by Nagaoka et al [ 63 ] ( Figure 7 b).…”

In recent years, functional fluidic and gas electrohydrodynamic (EHD) pumps have received considerable attention due to their remarkable features, such as simple structure, quiet operation, and energy-efficient utilization. EHD pumps can be applied in various industrial applications, including flow transfer, thermal management, and actuator drive. In this paper, the authors reviewed the literature surrounding functional fluidic and gas EHD pumps regarding the following aspects: the initial observation of the EHD effect, mathematical modeling, and the choice of pump structure, electrode configuration, and working medium. Based on the review, we present a summary of the development and latest research on EHD pumps. This paper provides a critical analysis of the current limitations of EHD pumps and identifies potential areas for future research. Additionally, the potential application of artificial intelligence in the field of EHD pumps is discussed in the context of its cross-disciplinary nature. Many reviews on EHD pumps focus on rigid pumps, and the contribution of this review is to summarize and analyze soft EHD pumps that have received less attention, thus reducing the knowledge gap.

In recent years, functional fluidic electrohydrodynamic (EHD) pumps have attracted considerable attention due to their remarkable features, such as simple structure, quiet operation, and energy-efficient utilization. EHD liquid pumps can be used in various industrial applications, like flow transfer, thermal management, and actuator drive. In this paper, the author reviewed EHD liquid pump research in these specific aspects: the first observation of the EHD effect, its mathematical modeling, and the choice of pump structure, electrode configuration, and working medium. Based on the review, a summary of the development and latest research on EHD pumps can be provided for the readers.
