Dielectric Elastomer Actuators for A Portable Force Feedback Device

This paper focuses on the development of novel actuators for a portable force feedback glove for, but not limited to, the simulation of organ palpations. A conceptual design of a chain-like actuator based on electroactive polymers is introduced. One elementary actuator of this chain was built in order to explore and optimize the actuator manufac- turing process. Actuators manufactured with this stable process were characterized through isometric and isotonic measurements. The results show that dielectric elastomer actuators are promising for a portable force feedback device.
