Abstract

Cable-Crawling Robots

In article number 2300828, Bo Li, Guimin Chen, and co-workers report a centimeter-scaled cable-crawling robot for thin cables by utilizing multilayered dielectric elastomer actuators. The miniaturized robot (2.1 g, 43 mm long) can quickly crawl on extremely thin cables with different orientations, transport objects, and locomote across the water–air interface. Benefit from the excellent locomotion performance, the robot can be applied to perform inspection and maintenance tasks along pre-built cables inside some equipment with narrow, confined internal spaces, such as airplane wings. This novel centimeter-scaled robot offers a potential platform solution for operating in hazardous or difficult-to-access spaces.

用于狭窄空间检测的厘米级软质薄电缆爬行机器人

电缆爬行机器人在编号为 2300828 的文章中，李波、陈桂敏及其合作者报告了一种利用多层介电弹性体致动器的厘米级细缆爬行机器人。这种微型机器人（重 2.1 克，长 43 毫米）可以在不同方向的极细电缆上快速爬行、运输物体并在水气界面上运动。得益于出色的运动性能，该机器人可用于在一些内部空间狭窄、密闭的设备（如飞机机翼）内，沿着预制电缆执行检查和维护任务。这种新颖的厘米级机器人为在危险或难以进入的空间作业提供了一种潜在的平台解决方案。
