Dynamic modeling and analysis of a vibration-driven robot driven by a conical dielectric elastomer actuator

Abstract

This article aims to establish a theoretical model of a vibration-driven robot driven by a conical dielectric elastomer actuator and analyze its characteristics, in order to make up for the lack of theoretical model construction and parameter evolution analysis for this type of robot. This article introduces a vibration-driven robot driven by a conical dielectric elastomer actuator, and then establishes its dynamic model based on its electromechanical coupling and viscoelastic characteristics. Subsequently, simulation research is conducted using this model. Overall, this article derived a dynamic equation that can be applied to this type of robot, analyzed its motion characteristics, studied the effects of different parameters on it, and discussed the influence of viscoelasticity on vibration-driven robots. The proposed dynamic model and evolution law of vibration robots can provide theoretical guidance for subsequent control and optimization.
