Micro Abstract:
This contribution introduces different modelling techniques and optimal control approaches for humanoid structures that are actuated by dielectric elastomers. Dielectric elastomers, also known as artificial muscles, belong to the group of smart materials. When excited with an electrical voltage, the elastic material contracts noiselessly, allowing for smooth motion of the actuated system.
