随着触觉接口在可穿戴设备和日常环境中的集成度提升,其对软性、超薄、静音且低功耗执行器的需求日益增长。传统电机和温敏聚合物因体积大、功耗高而难以满足要求。高电压静电执行器(HVEAs)通过在局部电荷集中施加电场,以高电压、极低电流实现快速、静音、低功耗操作,并具备高度可定制的柔性和贴合形态。本文综述了四类用于触觉的HVEAs:电控可逆粘附材料、介电弹性体执行器、柔性电液压执行器及电动力泵。针对每类,分析其产生触觉输出的机制,量化其带宽、力密度与空间可扩展性,并评估其在可穿戴与地面固定接口中呈现肤觉与动觉反馈的能力。通过跨技术对比,识别出共性设计约束,并提出改进人机工学、简化制造流程与集成自感知的策略。最后指出HVEAs在推动触觉交互方面的独特潜力,并明确关键技术方向以实现实际系统落地。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

As haptic interfaces integrate more seamlessly into wearables and everyday environments, they increasingly require actuators that are soft, thin, silent, and energy efficient. However, conventional motors and temperature-responsive polymers often struggle to deliver these properties due to their bulky form factors and high power consumption. High-Voltage Electrostatic Actuators (HVEAs), which generate force by applying an electric field to localized charge concentrations using high voltages and ultra-low currents, have recently emerged as a compelling alternative due to their fast, silent, and low-power operation within highly customizable and compliant form factors. This paper presents a focused review of HVEAs for haptics, examining four major classes: electrostatic switchable adhesives, dielectric elastomer actuators, soft electrohydraulic actuators, and electrokinetic pumps. For each class, we describe their mechanisms that enable haptic output; characterize their bandwidths, force densities, and spatial scalability; and evaluate their versatility for rendering cutaneous and kinesthetic feedback across wearable and world-grounded interfaces. Through this cross-technology analysis, we identify common design constraints and emerging strategies for improving ergonomics, streamlining fabrication, and integrating self-sensing. We conclude by outlining where HVEAs are uniquely positioned to advance haptic interaction and highlighting key research directions needed to translate these technologies into practical systems.
