Researchers from the Mesoscopic Actuators and Systems (MESYS) project group at Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems IPMS have been developing novel electrostatic microactuators, so-called ...
Electrostatic actuators are simple and lightweight devices that emulate human muscles. However, their usage has primarily been restricted to moving small devices since they need high voltages to ...
Electrostatic actuators that work at lower voltages could come out of research at the Tokyo Institute of Technology. These devices consist of two oppositely charged electrodes that generate a force ...
The DH0485A electrostatic actuator high-voltage IC, integrating a dc-dc boost converter and 16-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with SPI interface in a 6- by 6-mm QFN 33L package, suits portable ...
The University of Bristol has created electrostatic actuators that it claims can lift 1,000 times their own weight, contract by 99.8% of their length, and deliver specific energy and specific power ...
