A Worm-Like Biomimetic Crawling Robot Based on Cylindrical Dielectric Elastomer Actuators

In recent years the field of soft robotics has gained a lot of interest both in academia and industry. In contrast to rigid robots, which are potentially very powerful and precise, soft robots are composed of compliant materials like gels or elastomers (Rich et al., 2018; Majidi, 2019). Their exclus...
