Abstract
In this paper a new soft actuator based on dielectric elastomer is proposed. The actuator, called the ANTagonistically-driven Linear Actuator(ANTLA), has the musclelike characteristics capable of performing the motions such as forward/backward/controllable compliance. In this paper, its dynamic analysis is performed with experimental verifications, and applications for robotic actuating devices are introduced. Its quasi-static analysis and basic concepts will be given in the companion paper submitted with this paper[1].
