Download or read book Biomimetic Robotic Artificial Muscles written by Kwang Jin Kim and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2013-03-26 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biomimetic Robotic Artificial Muscles presents a comprehensive up-to-date overview of several types of electroactive materials with a view of using them as biomimetic artificial muscles. The purpose of the book is to provide a focused, in-depth, yet self-contained treatment of recent advances made in several promising EAP materials. In particular, ionic polymer-metal composites, conjugated polymers, and dielectric elastomers are considered. Manufacturing, physical characterization, modeling, and control of the materials are presented. Namely, the book adopts a systems perspective to integrate recent developments in material processing, actuator design, control-oriented modeling, and device and robotic applications. While the main focus is on the new developments in these subjects, an effort has been made throughout the book to provide the reader with general, basic information about the materials before going into more advanced topics. As a result, the book is very much self-contained and expected to be accessible for a reader who does not have background in EAPs.Based on the good fundamental knowledge and the versatility of the materials, several promising biomimetic and robotic applications such robotic fish propelled by an IPMC tail, an IPMC energy harvester, an IPMC-based valveless pump, a conjugated polymer petal-driven micropump, and a synthetic elastomer actuator-enabled robotic finger are demonstrated.

Download or read book Development and Modeling of Biomimetric Robotic Fish with Ionic Polymer metal Composite and Servo Actuators written by Piqi Hou and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last few decades, biomimetic systems have been receiving growing interest relative to bio-inspired design, physics-based modeling, high maneuvering capability, and high energy efficiency. In this research, first a compact-sized biomimetic robotic fish propelled by an ionic polymer-metal composite (IPMC) actuator was developed. This robotic fish contains two pectoral fins to steer and one caudal fin to generate its essential propulsion. Then a new robotic fish propelled by a hybrid tail was developed. In the hybrid tail, an IPMC was used as a soft actuator to change the shape of the caudal fin and provide a responsive turning moment. A traditional servo motor was used as an active joint in the hybrid tail to generate oscillation on the tail, which leads to the main thrust for forward swimming. The robotic fish with the hybrid tail can achieve two-dimensional (2D) maneuvering capability. A 2D dynamic model that incorporates IPMC active beam dynamics, rigid body motion dynamics, and hydrodynamic force acting on the hybrid tail was developed to capture the motion dynamics of the robotic fish. Experiments and simulation data are illustrated to verify the 2D maneuvering capability of the robotic fish.
