Electriflow: Soft Electrohydraulic Building Blocks for Prototyping Shape-changing Interfaces

We present Electriflow: a new class of soft electrohydraulic actuators as building blocks for prototyping shape-changing interfaces. These actuators are silent and fast in operation and can be fabricated with commodity materials. Electriflow generates an immediate hydraulic force upon electrostatic activation without…
