Soft Robotics: A Review of Recent Developments of Pneumatic Soft Actuators (2020, background): “Other advanced materials being used in the field of soft robotics include electro-active polymers (EAP) which also provide excellent degrees of freedom and great compliance with its environments [31], and Diels-Alder Polymers which are able to “heal” microscopic and macroscopic damage [107].”
Dielectric Elastomer Actuator for Soft Robotics Applications and Challenges (2020, methodology): “, has highly improved performance due to the intimate contact between the gripper and objects [94,95].”
Fluid-driven origami-inspired artificial muscles (2017, background): “Polymerbased actuators have material properties that closely mimic muscle and can produce substantial deformations in the presence of an external electric field (18, 19).”
Soft robots based on dielectric elastomer actuators: a review (2019, background): “successfully lift fragile objects such as an egg, water-filled balloon etc [26] as shown in figure 2(g).”
