Soft Robots
The muscle‐like dielectric elastomer actuators developed by Yufeng Chen and co‐workers in article number 2106757 lead to insect‐scale flapping‐wing aerial soft robots that resemble the size, weight, and performance of honeybees in nature. The actuators consist of soft elastomers and carbon nanotube electrodes, and they are made through novel fabrication methods to significantly reduce...
Dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) are a special class of artificial muscles that have been used to construct animal‐like soft robotic systems. However, compared with state‐of‐the‐art rigid actuators such as piezoelectric bimorphs and electromagnetic motors, most DEAs require higher driving voltages, and their power density and lifetime remain substantially lower. These limitations pose significant...
