title = "Butterfly-Inspired Soft Flapping-Wing Robot Driven by Electro-Hydraulic Coupling",
abstract = "This work introduces a butterfly-inspired soft flapping-wing robot utilizing an electro-hydraulic coupled actuation strategy. Mimicking the indirect drive mechanism of butterfly thoraxes, the system employs a dielectric fluid-filled pouch with graphite electrodes to generate flapping motion via electrostatic squeezing and a rigid reinforcement layer. Characterization on a load cell setup reveals the relationship between flapping amplitude and actuation voltage. The prototype achieves a peak lift-to-weight ratio of 67.6\% prior to dielectric breakdown. Future work focusing on airfoil optimization and structural topology aims to enable autonomous flight capabilities for this soft robotic platform.",
