Abstract
An artificial muscle including a housing, an electrode pair positioned in an electrode region of the housing, the electrode pair including a first electrode and a second electrode, the first electrode and the second electrode each including a pair of tab portions and a bridge portion, the pair of tab portions extending parallel to one another to define a gap portion between the pair of tab portions, the gap portion having a constant gap width extending along a tab length of the pair of tab portions, the bridge portion interconnecting the pair of tab portions, and a dielectric fluid housed within the housing, wherein the electrode pair is actuatable between a non-actuated state and an actuated state such that actuation from the non-actuated state to the actuated state directs the dielectric fluid into an expandable fluid region of the housing.
