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.
