In recent years, the research on soft robots has become a hot spot in the field of robot research. Because the
freedom of soft materials can be freely changed according to demand, soft robots have extremely high flexibility,
and soft robots have good human-computer interaction performance and safety due to the softness of their
materials. Its appearance successfully solves the problem of insufficient human-machine interaction and narrow
scope of application of traditional rigid robot. At the same time, the soft robot can also complete some irregular
work, which the traditional rigid robot can not do anyway. Soft robots have broad application prospects in medical
field, military field, disaster relief field, biomedical field and family service field.
Soft robots, as the name suggests, are made of materials that are necessarily soft. It is thanks to its soft materials
that soft robots can have extremely high degrees of freedom and good human-machine interaction. In addition
to softness, the manufacturing materials of soft robots should also have good plasticity and high elasticity.
In the manufacturing process of soft robot, one of the most important parts is the high voltage amplifier. Dielectric
elastomer (DE) is a new type of electroactive polymer (EAP) material which can produce large deformation under
the excitation of external voltage. The DE material used as a driver usually has a sandwich structure. The flexible
electrodes on the upper and lower surfaces of DE material will accumulate positive and negative charges under
the action of electric field. Under the action of electric field force, the DE film will compress in the direction of
thickness and expand and deform in the direction of plane. When the external force or voltage is withdrawn, the
DE material will return to its original shape. In this process, the DE material realizes the conversion of electrical
energy to mechanical energy. Because of its characteristics of large deformation, fast response speed, high
energy density, light weight and low cost, DE material has been widely used in the manufacture of soft robots.
So it is of great significance for the study of DE materials.
Wisman high voltage amplifiers are often used in DE material research. AMW series high voltage amplifiers
have a maximum output power of 400W and a maximum output voltage of ±20kv to meet the needs of different
flexible electrode voltages. AMW High Voltage Power amplifiers, High Voltage amplifiers, Wisman High voltage
power supplies are launched for industrial and research applications. All solid state high voltage insulation design,
can achieve high conversion rate, broadband and low noise operation. Four-quadrant active output absorbs or
outputs current to a reactive or resistive load over the entire output voltage range. This type of output is
essential to achieve accurate output response and the high conversion rates required for various loads, such
as highly capacitive or reactive loads.
