Wireless Electrohydrodynamic Actuators for Propulsion and Positioning of Miniaturized Floating Robots

摘要

Wireless ActuatorsIn article number 2100004, Hiroki Shigemune, Vito Cacucciolo, and co-workers report a novel wireless mechanism for simultaneous propulsion and control of cm-scale robots in liquids that is compact, silent and low-power. The cover image shows an array of electrodes and on top the small robots displaced and controlled by EHD (ElectroHydroDynamics) forces.
