Inkjet Printing of Complex Soft Machines with Densely Integrated Electrostatic Actuators
Herbert Shea, Samuel Rosset, Samuel Schlatter, Giulio Grasso
A multimaterial inkjet printing method for integrated soft multifunctional machines is reported, combining dense arrays of electrostatic actuators, multilayer electrical routing, and complex networks of microfluidic channels in one printing process. Most a ...
2020Inkjet printing of soft machines
Soft machines and soft robots are an area of intense research because soft systems are safer to interact with, are better at handling fragile objects, can produce complex shapes with fewer transducers, are robust, and are ideal for wearable applications. H ...
EPFL2020Peta-pico-Voltron: An open-source high voltage power supply
Samuel Rosset, Samuel Schlatter
We present the design (hardware + software) of “Peta-pico-Voltron”, a low-current high voltage power supply for electrostatic actuators. Developed primarily for dielectric elastomer actuators, it offers a low-cost solution to generate user controllable vol ...
2018Inkjet 3D printing of UV and thermal cure silicone elastomers for dielectric elastomer actuators
Herbert Shea, Samuel Rosset, Samuel Schlatter, David James McCoul
Dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) are an attractive form of electromechanical transducer, possessing high energy densities, an efficient design, mechanical compliance, high speed, and noiseless operation. They have been incorporated into a wide variety ...
Institute of Physics2017High-cycle electromechanical aging of dielectric elastomer actuators with carbon-based electrodes
Herbert Shea, Samuel Rosset, Samuel Schlatter, Christine Anne de Saint-Aubin
We present high-cycle aging tests of Dielectric Elastomer Actuators (DEAs) based on silicone elastomers, reporting on the time-evolution of actuation strain and of electrode resistance over millions of cycles. We compare several types of carbon-based elect ...
Institute of Physics2017Inkjet printing of carbon black electrodes for dielectric elastomer actuators
Herbert Shea, Samuel Rosset, Samuel Schlatter
Inkjet printing is an appealing technique to print electrodes for Dielectric Elastomer Actuators (DEAs). Here we present the preparation and ink-jet printing of a carbon black electrode mixture and characterise its properties. Carbon black has been used ex ...
Spie-Int Soc Optical Engineering2017Fabrication process of silicone-based dielectric elastomer actuators
Herbert Shea, Samuel Rosset, Samuel Schlatter
This contribution demonstrates the fabrication process of dielectric elastomer transducers (DETs). DETs are stretchable capacitors consisting of an elastomeric dielectric membrane sandwiched between two compliant electrodes. The large actuation strains of ...
