Soft actuators and their fabrication for bio-inspired mobile robots

Dielectric elastomer actuators (DEA), which are capable of muscle-like actuation, have potential to drive insect-inspired flapping-wing robotfly. They have not been successfully used to drive flapping wings due to various limitations. This paper revisits their use and integration in a thoracic mecha...
