2. Flexible fluidic actuators

2.1 Basic principles

Many actuators in microrobotics are based on the use of so-called active materials, often also referred to as smart materials . As we saw earlier, the actuator par excellence for precision applications is the piezoelectric material, characterized by very high actuation stresses but very low deformations. The paradigm has long been to associate precision robotics with very high stiffness, in order to improve dynamic...
