Electroactive polymer (EAP) actuators in a simple walking robot Team Members: Bryan Abbamonte, Ryan Cook, Josh Derbyshire, Emmanuel Ekwueme, Philip Kaewsowatana, Raymond King Advisor: Shane Ross The goal of this project is to create dielectric EAP actuators and implement them into a walking robot. Key Features: • Design and create VHB 4905 pre-stretching device • Vicon testing of unrolled VHB 4905 • Design and construct linear dielectric EAP actuator • Test force output of actuator • Implementation of actuators into prototype leg • Design and construct small walking robot
