Abstract

In this paper a new soft actuator based on dielectric elastomer is proposed. The actuator, called ANTagonistically-driven Linear Actuator(ANTLA) has the musclelike characteristics capable of performing the motions such as forward/backward/controllable compliance. Due to its simplicity of configuration and ease of fabrication, it has the advantages to be scale-independently implemented in meso- or micro scale robotic applications. Its basic concepts are introduced and quasi-static analysis is performed with experimental verifications.
