Since its inception, the field of robotics has aimed to create machines that mimic the
extraordinary capabilities of the human body. From as early as the 1940s, this has included …

Soft manipulator is a kind of special manipulator that uses soft material or flexible structure to
perform manipulation task under the specific drive mode inspired by the soft tissue. It is …

In the past decade, the development of theory has deeply revealed the electromechanical
coupling deformation mechanism of dielectric elastomer (DE). Many theoretical predictions …

Debris in space presents an ever-increasing problem for spacecraft in Earth orbit. As a step
in the mitigation of this issue, the CleanSpace One (CSO) microsatellite has been proposed …

Due to the simple preparation process, large deformation, and wide applications, the
dielectric elastomer minimum energy-based structures (DEMESs) are preferably employed …

This work presents the design and test of a novel fabric-based versatile and stiffness-tunable
soft gripper integrating soft pneumatic fingers and wrist. The morphology is designed into a …

Transparency is a surprisingly effective method to achieve camouflage and has been widely
adapted by natural animals. However, it is challenging to replicate in synthetic systems …

Dielectric elastomer minimum energy structure (DEMES) formed by clinging a pre-stretched
dielectric elastomer (DE) membrane to the compliant frame possess both material and …

This paper presents a fast rolling soft robot (RSR) driven by dielectric elastomer. Through
novel structure design based on multisegment dielectric elastomer minimum energy …

In view of their unique shape morphing behaviour, dielectric elastomer-based minimum
energy structures (DEMES) have received an increasing attention in the technology of …
