Wireless Electrohydrodynamic Actuators for Propulsion and Positioning of Miniaturized Floating Robots

Abstract

Wireless ActuatorsIn article number http://doi.wiley.com/10.1002/aisy.202100004, Hiroki Shigemune, Vito Cacucciolo, and co‐workers report a novel wireless mechanism for simultaneous propulsion and control of cm‐scale robots in liquids that is compact, silent and low‐power. The cover image shows an array of electrodes and on top the small robots displaced and controlled by EHD (ElectroHydroDynamics) forces.
