A Deformable Motor Driven by Dielectric Elastomer Actuators and Flexible Mechanisms

Soft robots with dynamic motion could be used in a variety of applications involving the handling of fragile materials. Rotational motors are often used as actuators to provide functions for robots (e.g., vibration, locomotion, and suction). To broaden the applications of soft robots, it will be nec...
