Soft, energy-efficient robotic wings
Washington DC (SPX) Apr 02, 2015 - Dielectric elastomers are novel materials for making actuators or motors with soft and lightweight properties that can undergo large active deformations with high-energy conversion efficiencies. This has made dielectric elastomers popular for creating devices such as robotic hands, soft robots, tunable lenses and pneumatic valves - and possibly flapping robotic wings. Reporting this week i ... more
