Rolled Dielectric Elastomer Antagonistic Actuators for Biomimetic Underwater Robots

In this study, an antagonistic actuator using dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) is developed to investigate the use of rolled DEAs in underwater robots. The actuator consists of a backbone, an elastic hinge, and two rolled DEAs placed in an antagonistic fashion, allowing for the generation of bi...
