“…Another way was chosen by Wenguang Wang et al, who developed a mathematical model of the electrostatic actuator, using electric transparent film as an electrode. Using the developed mathematical model, a set of dependencies defining the actuator output forces with respect to the various design of the drives was defined [61]. In the analysis of the synthetic voltage division (SVD) provided by Chong Li et al, this methodology was implemented using dynamic simulation.…”

The implementation of electrostatic microactuators is one of the most popular technical solutions in the field of micropositioning due to their versatility and variety of possible operation modes and methods. Nevertheless, such uncertainty in existing possibilities creates the problem of choosing suitable methods. This paper provides an effort to classify electrostatic actuators and create a system in the variety of existing devices. Here is overviewed and classified a wide spectrum of electrostatic actuators developed in the last 5 years, including modeling of different designs, and their application in various devices. The paper provides examples of possible implementations, conclusions, and an extensive list of references.

“…To implement the optimization design of electroadhesive pads for different cases, West et al [26] introduced a general design optimization method using submillimeter parameters. In addition, Wang et al [27] established an overall flow diagram based on parametric analysis to select the optimal design parameters for electroadhesive pads. Although these works have attempted to provide strategies for optimizing the geometry of electroadhesive pads, they ignore practical influences such as the limitations of power supply devices and manufacturing equipment.…”

Electroadhesion is an adhesion mechanism applying high voltage to generate adhesive force. The electroadhesion system can generate and maintain adhesive force on almost any object, solving the challenge of handling irregular and rough surface objects as well as fragile objects. The electroadhesive pad is a key component of the electroadhesion system for interacting with the target object. By optimizing the design of the electroadhesive pad, the electroadhesion system provides greater adhesive force and achieves better adhesion. In this study, a multiparameter theoretical model including the dimensional parameters of the electroadhesive pad has been developed and an optimization design strategy for specific applications has been proposed. By considering both the key parameters influencing the electroadhesive force and the practical constraints of equipment and materials, this strategy allows the optimization design methods of electroadhesive pads to be further extended to applications. The influence of each parameter on the optimization results has been evaluated by calculating and comparing the optimized values under different conditions, and it has been demonstrated that the size of the pad also has an effect on the optimized values. A 3D simulation model has been established to simulate the effect of electroadhesion, and the accuracy of the optimization results has been verified by comparing the theoretical and simulation results. An application example has been performed and the results have shown that the structure of the electroadhesive pad can be optimized by using this strategy, thus maximizing the generated electroadhesive force and improving the overall performance of the electroadhesion system.
