Theoretically the actuation can be extended to multidirectional. We used Dielectric Elastomer Actuators (DEA) as a base actuation mechanism, and molded PDMS was used as a substrate of the device.Dielectric Elastomer ActuatorsArtificial MusclesSoft RoboticsDielectric Elastomer Actuators for soft-graspingtext::conference output::conference poster not in proceedings
