Toward Soft-Robotic Image-Guided Tumor Puncture: Development and Control of a HASEL Actuator for Integration into a Novel Soft Robotic Concept
This paper presents the development and control of a novel S-HASEL actuator, featuring an octopus-inspired geometry, gold-coated electrodes for high-precision self-sensing, and a PWM-based drive system, to create a compact, soft robotic solution for image-guided needle biopsy procedures.
