Printed Polymer Composite Sensors for Low-Power, Near Room-Temperature Detection and Classification of VOCS

Jürgen Brugger, Thomas Maeder, Mohammadmahdi Kiaee

We demonstrate the application of inkjet-printed near room-temperature chemiresistors composed of polymer-carbon black (CB) composites for detecting and classifying volatile organic compounds (VOC). Our results demonstrate that the printed sensors can sele ...

Design and modelling of a tubular dielectric elastomer actuator with constrained radial displacement as a cardiac assist device

Yves Perriard, Yoan René Cyrille Civet, Armando Matthieu Walter, Jonathan André Jean-Marie Chavanne

In this paper, we propose an improvement of a dielectric elastomer actuator (DEA) based augmented aorta. The actuator is a multi-layered tubular DEA subject to the internal pressure of the blood. When activated in synchronisation with the heart, the DEA su ...

Fabrication of zipping electrostatic actuators incorporating inkjet-printed layers

Herbert Shea, Samuel Rosset, Giulio Grasso

Zipping electrostatic actuators operate by bending flexible electrodes using electrostatic forces. This principle allows the use of a wide range of dielectric and conductive materials. Additive Manufacturing (AM) techniques can be used to fabricate these a ...

Low-Voltage Silicon Photonic Mems Switch With Vertical Actuation

Niels Quack, Hamed Sattari, Alain Yuji Takabayashi

We present a vertically movable silicon photonic MEMS switch realized in IMEC's standard silicon photonics platform followed by a dedicated postprocessing for MEMS release. The device has six optical ports, which enable four switching configurations with a ...

An Analytical Model for the Prediction of the Maximum Output Voltage Reachable with an Ultra-high Voltage Flyback Converter Driving Capacitive Actuators

Yves Perriard, Alexis Boegli, Raphaël Johannes Charles Mottet

The DC-DC flyback converter is one of the most suitable topologies to generate the voltages necessary to operate Dielectric Elastomer Actuators. Voltages which can range from 5 to 20 kV. Previous works demonstrated through experiments the flyback’s ability ...

Multimode Hydraulically Amplified Electrostatic Actuators for Wearable Haptics

Herbert Shea, Ronan Julien Hinchet, Edouard Franck Vincent Gustave Leroy

The sense of touch is underused in today’s virtual reality systems due to lack of wearable, soft, mm-scale transducers to generate dynamic mechanical stimulus on the skin. Extremely thin actuators combining both high force and large displacement are a long ...

Lighter and Stronger: Cofabricated Electrodes and Variable Stiffness Elements in Dielectric Actuators

Dario Floreano, Vivek Ramachandran, Yegor Piskarev, Jun Shintake, Michael Dickey

The inherent compliance of soft robots often makes it difficult for them to exert forces on surrounding surfaces or withstand mechanical loading. Controlled stiffness is a solution to empower soft robots with the ability to apply large forces on their envi ...
