Abstract
This letter presents an automated robotic manufacturing system for soft capacitors which operate as actuators and sensors. Emphasis is placed on the two processes that most directly govern device quality, dielectric layer formation by spin coating and carbon nanotube (CNT) electrode application by stamping. Twenty multilayer DEAs, each comprising 12 dielectric layers with a mean thickness of 55.37 +- 2.04 um and 11 alternating CNT electrodes, were fabricated reducing total process time by 14.2% and removing the operator from 56.1% of it.
