A Unidirectional Soft Dielectric Elastomer Actuator Enabled by Built-In Honeycomb Metastructures

Dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) are able to undergo large deformation in response to external electric stimuli and have been widely used to drive soft robotic systems, due to their advantageous attributes comparable to biological muscles. However, due to their isotropic material properties, it...
