Cover Story: Soft robots hold the promise of creating robotic systems that are cheaper, safer and more flexible than traditional robots. Artificial muscles belong to the most important components of soft robots, and among them, dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) represent the technology that comes closest to the capabilities of a natural muscle. With the recent commercial availability of stacked DEAs, real-world applications are within reach. To develop these applications, it is important to analyze the DEA deformation due to a stimulus in a known environment and under different loading conditions. This requires appropriate test benches, whose components are precisely specified in order to make the research field of dielectric elastomer actuators and soft robots more accessible. View this paper
