Abstract
HASEL actuators are a type of artificial muscles that is quite new in the researchs field. Combining a deceptively simple operating principle with good versatility, this new technology quickly captured the attention of researchers. Never produced before at UCLouvain, this master's thesis has the goal of clearing the ground by designing a manufacturing method to produce Peano-HASEL actuators with consistent performance and a demonstrator using an interesting property possible with it.
