Actuators are the input and output devices that connect electronic, hydraulic or pneumatic control systems to their environment. They convert external forces or conditions, such as temperature ...

Abstract: Microelectrothermal actuators are widely used in various microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), but challenges related to energy consumption and response time persist, especially in ...

Triboelectric Nanogenerators (TENGs) have been regarded as an effective method to solve the energy problem since they were first demonstrated in 2012. Due to their high-power generation and low cost, ...

The resonator is designed for electrostatic drive and electrostatic detection, and the lateral synovial motion is taken as the working mode so that the structure has the characteristics of structural ...

Soft robots, devices with deformable bodies and powered by soft actuators, may fill a hitherto unexplored niche in outer space. All space-bound payloads are heavily limited in terms of mass and volume ...
