By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-Investigators publish new report on ro botics. According to news reporting originating from Hangzhou, People's Republic of China, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, "Traditional underwater ri gid robots have some shortcomings that limit their applications in the ocean." Funders for this research include National Natural Science Foundation of China. Our news reporters obtained a quote from the research from Zhejiang University: "In contrast, because of their inherent flexibility, soft robots, which have gai ned popularity recently, offer greater adaptability, efficiency, and safety than rigid robots. Among them, the soft actuator is the core component to power the soft robot. Here, we propose a class of soft electrohydraulic bending actuators suitable for underwater robots, which realize the bending motion of the actuator by squeezing the working liquid with an electric field. The actuator consists o f a silicone rubber film, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) films, soft electrodes, si licone oils, an acrylic frame, and a soft flipper. When a square wave voltage is applied, the actuator can generate continuous flapping motions. By mimicking Ha liclystus auricula, we designed an underwater robot based on six soft electrohyd raulic bending actuators and constructed a mechanical model of the robot."
