Hydraulically Coupled Dielectric Elastomer Actuators for a Bioinspired Suction Cup

Hydraulically Coupled Dielectric Elastomer Actuators for a Bioinspired Suction Cup

Suction cups of cephalopods show a preeminent performance when absorbing irregular or flat objects. In this paper, an octopi-inspired suction cup, driven by hydraulically coupled dielectric elastomer actuators (HCDEAs), is proposed, which is considered to be controlled easily and have compact struct...
