High quality air bladder production and automation company right now? Soft actuators include any number of actuation technologies (piezoelectric, pneumatic, shape-memory, etc.) that leverage soft or compliant components in their structure. Soft actuators can range from mostly rigid devices with flexible components to highly elastic structures, but their common goal is to improve the resilience and conformability of the soft robotic structures that they power. HASEL actuators are a subset of soft actuators that uses an electrohydraulic mechanism to drive shape change in a soft hydraulic structure. Peano-HASEL actuators are a specific type of HASEL actuator that demonstrates controllable linear contraction on activation, much like biological muscle; their name is a nod to the Peano fluidic actuators that served as an inspiration for their design. At Artimus, we do not differentiate between a HASEL actuator and a Peano-HASEL actuator, instead preferring to refer to our entire suite of devices as HASEL actuator technology.

Soft robotics is a subfield of robotics that aims to reproduce the versatility of biological organisms by incorporating soft or compliant components into robotic structures, increasing their adaptability and resilience. One key focus of soft robotics is the development of muscle-like soft actuators that leverage compliant materials. Artimus Robotics is the only soft robotics company that offers soft actuator technology that is electrically controlled, provides continuously variable output, operates at high speeds, and is silent. Artimus Robotics has applied its HASEL actuator technology to a wide variety of industries such as industrial automation, human machine interfaces, and defense.

HASEL actuators utilize thin plastic films and liquids to achieve high mechanical compliance. At Artimus Robotics, we provide actuator technology that truly replicates the abilities of human muscle in industrial markets. Navigating small spaces. NASA has already shared its interest in soft robots to explore small spaces on other planets. Soft robots could be able to work their way into gaps between rocks or collect geological samples with more accuracy. On Earth, soft robots could help in earthquake (or other) disaster zones to access tight areas covered in rubble.

HASEL (Hydraulically Amplified Self-healing ELectrostatic) actuator 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 actuator technology is electrically driven and couples electrostatic and hydraulic forces so a wide variety of actuation modes are possible. Currently, we offer custom engineered HASEL actuators to drop into your human-machine solution. Our technology is completely electrically controlled and offers extremely diverse motion; perfect for your human-machine interface applications.

Contracting actuators that can achieve fast and smooth actuation with muscle-like performance. This development kit includes a stack of five linear contracting HASEL actuators. The stacks of actuators are modular and can be operated in a variety of combinations. Additionally, custom shapes and sizes are readily available. Contact us with your exact needs. This portable power supply is a turn-key solution for powering HASEL actuators. The power supply is capable of producing up to 10 kV at frequencies up to 100 Hz. It can be controlled with an analog button, programmed using the provided software, or set to run a pre-programmed demo mode. Read more details on artimusrobotics.com.
