具有动态运动的软体机器人可用于处理易碎材料的各种应用。旋转电机通常用作执行器，为机器人提供功能（例如，振动，运动和吸力）。为了扩大软机器人的应用范围，有必要开发一种不阻止机器人变形的旋转电机。在这项研究中，我们开发了一种基于介电弹性体致动器（dea）的可变形电机，该电机重量轻，消耗能量少，并且不产生磁场。我们在两次实验中测试了这种新电机。首先，我们证明了dea的内应力变化传递给了旋转电机的机构。其次，我们证明了可变形电机即使在外力作用下变形也能旋转。特别是，当施加外力使电机变形为椭圆形状时，旋转性能没有下降。我们的马达为旋转运动在软体机器人上的应用打开了大门。
Soft robots with dynamic motion could be used in a variety of applications involving the handling of fragile materials. Rotational motors are often used as actuators to provide functions for robots (e.g., vibration, locomotion, and suction). To broaden the applications of soft robots, it will be necessary to develop a rotational motor that does not prevent robots from undergoing deformation. In this study, we developed a deformable motor based on dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) that is lightweight, consumes little energy, and does not generate a magnetic field. We tested the new motor in two experiments. First, we showed that internal stress changes in the DEAs were transmitted to the mechanism that rotates the motor. Second, we demonstrated that the deformable motor rotated even when it was deformed by an external force. In particular, the rotational performance did not decrease when an external force was applied to deform the motor into an elliptical shape. Our motor opens the door to applications of rotational motion to soft robots.
