Soft electrical actuators driven by low voltages are promising for interactive human–machine
interfaces (iHMI) applications including executing orders to complete various tasks and …

Tremor is an involuntary and oscillatory movement disorder that makes daily activities
difficult for affected patients. Hand tremor-suppression orthoses are noninvasive, wearable …

Single-process additive manufacturing provides fully functional 3D-printed structures in a
single 3D printer without the need for additional manufacturing processes. The 3D-printed …

This paper presents an overview of cooperative actuator and sensor systems based on
dielectric elastomer (DE) transducers. A DE consists of a flexible capacitor made of a thin …

Current powered prosthetic and orthotic devices are mostly based on rigid actuators, which
exhibit some intrinsic limitations, such as the reduced number of degrees of freedom, high …

Generally, a serious practical limitation of dielectric elastomer (DE)-based capacitors is the
need for high voltage supply (in the order of 1 kV) to activate them. High voltages require a …

Despite the vast amount of studies based on magnetorheological elastomers (MREs), a very
limited number of investigations have been initiated on their reprocessing. This paper …

Fully 3D-printed smart structures have attracted a lot of research interest; new technologies,
materials, and methods for 3D-printed functional structures such as sensors, actuators …

Excellent dielectric properties are essential for electromechanical applications of dielectric
elastomer. This work confirms that acrylic resin elastomer (AE)-based percolative …

Pathological tremor, such as parkinsonian and essential tremor, can significantly affect the
quality of life of the individuals who suffer from it. Traditional medicines may be ineffective …
