Review of Soft Linear Actuator and the Design of a Dielectric Elastomer Linear Actuator
Abstract
Natural muscle provides excellent motilities for animals. As the basic unit of the muscle system, the skeletal muscle fibers function as a soft linear actuator. Inspired by the muscle fibers, researchers have developed various soft active devices with linear actuation. This paper reviews several soft linear actuators, such as the dielectric elastomer, thermal responsive hydrogels, pneumatic artificial muscle, and conducting polymers. The...
