Abstract
This paper deals with modeling and control of electrostrictive polymer (EP) for endoscopic microcapsule. The EP is so flexible that we considered it as a flexible membrane. And the EP has time variant variable. It is the reason that the elastic modulus of EP is very small and changes during deformation of EP. But an electronics, polymer science and mechanics must be considered at the same time to have exact model of EP. So a control algorithm was used. The control algorithm must overcome the limit of modeling. So the algorithm of adaptive fuzzy algorithm was used to control the actuator exactly.
