SOFT MUSCLE-LIKE PERFORMANCE
HOW IT WORKS
Today, automated motion is produced by rigid components that are costly, energy consuming, and noisy. Using inspiration from nature, Artimus Robotics takes a radically new approach to linear motion with HASEL actuator technology.
HASEL actuation technology operates when electrostatic forces are applied to a flexible polymer pouch and dielectric liquid to drive shape change in a soft structure. These principles can be applied to achieve a contracting motion, expanding motion, or other complex deformations. HASEL electroactive polymer actuation technology is electrically driven and couples electrostatic and hydraulic forces so a wide variety of actuation modes are possible.
