Journal ArticleDOI
A nonlinear model for ionic polymer metal composites as actuators
TL;DR: In this article, a nonlinear dynamic model of motion actuators based on ionic polymer metal composites (IPMCs) working in air is presented, where significant quantities ruling the acting properties of IPMC-based actuators are taken into account.
Journal ArticleDOI
A model for ionic polymer metal composites as sensors
TL;DR: It is observed that the need for a wet environment is not a key issue for IPMC-based sensors to work well, showing that sensors do not suffer from the same drawbacks as corresponding actuators.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Tactile Sensor for Biomedical Applications Based on IPMCs
TL;DR: In this article, a prototype of a multifunctional tactile sensor using ionic polymer metal composites (IPMCs) is proposed, designed, and tested, which can detect the presence of a material in contact with it and to measure its stiffness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Design and Control of an IPMC Wormlike Robot
TL;DR: This paper presents an innovative wormlike robot controlled by cellular neural networks (CNNs) and made of an ionic polymer-metal composite (IPMC) self-actuated skeleton that is capable of reconfiguring and moving in line with spatial-temporal dynamics generated by CNNs.
Journal ArticleDOI
A method to characterize the deformation of an IPMC sensing membrane
TL;DR: In this paper, a system devoted to the characterization of IPMCs as motion sensors is presented, in which an IPMC strip acts as the movable capacitive plate between two fixed plates, inside a differential capacitive measuring system.
