Building electric muscle to advance biomimetic robots

Shorts

Quick update on the electrostatic actuator I’m building. I haven’t posted in a while, but development is on track. Quick reminder of why electrostatics rules: - direct drive, no gearbox - avoids I^2R overheating problems - costs basically nothing to make

Here’s a 1 year anniversary post on my electric muscle research. I started a year ago as a for-fun project in my spare time. And now it’s grown to a full-time focus. My goal is to make the best biomimetic robots in the world. Won’t rest until I get there!

Latest clip of the actuator. This is a single layer. It works sort of like a stepper motor, but runs linearly. Next step is to add more layers. But first I have to fix an issue with friction. It’s an easy fix, but will require a new flex PCB order, which will take a week or so.

Here’s a demo of the actuator is in its unwrapped state. Pretty cool!! 😃
