The low actuating voltage and quick bending responses of ICPF (ionic conducting polymer film) are considered very useful and attractive for the construction of various types of actuators and sensors. In this paper, first we present an octopod underwater microrobot which has eight legs, and each leg is made up of two pieces of ICPF. Then we use theory analysis to illustrate the motion mechanism of...
In this paper, we presents a novel crablike underwater microrobot named crabliker-1. The designed microrobot has eight legs, and each leg is made up of two pieces of ICPF (ionic conducting polymer film). A new analysis method to the gait of the microrobot is proposed. Based on this method, three processes of single leg's movement under different control signals are proposed. The structure and motion...
This paper presents a new type of underwater microrobot. It uses only one piece of ionic conducting polymer films (ICPF) as the actuator. The structure of the microrobot is introduced in detail. The factors influencing the moving mode of the microrobot were analyzed. Theory analysis illustrates the motion mechanism of the microrobot. Through experimental study, we get the results of relationships...
