All-around, real-time navigation and sensing across the water environments byminiature soft robotics are promising, for their merits of small size, highagility and good compliance to the unstructured surroundings. In this paper, wepropose and demonstrate a mantas-like soft aquatic robot which propels itselfby flapping-fins using rolled dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) withbending motions. This robot exhibits fast-moving capabilities of swimming at57mm/s or 1.25 body length per second (BL/s), skating on water surface at 64mm/s (1.36 BL/s) and vertical ascending at 38mm/s (0.82 BL/s) at 1300 V, 17 Hzof the power supply. These results show the feasibility of adopting rolled DEAsfor mesoscale aquatic robots with high motion performance in variouswater-related scenarios.
