Design and Development of a Bio-inspired Robotic Jellysh that Features Ionic Polymer Metal Composites Actuators
This thesis presents the design and development of a novel biomimetic jellyfish robot that features ionic polymer metal composite actuators. The shape and swimming style of this underwater vehicle are based on oblate jellyfish species, which are known for their high locomotive efficiency. Ionic poly...
