(a) Measurement cycle. Center: the forces acting on the object during the holding phase. (b) plot of the force measured by the force sensor during the different phases of the measurement cycle. (c) Schematic split of the measured force into a “pure” EA pressure, plotted in red, and reaction force and dry adhesion pressure in green and in orange. The adhesion force is purely an EA force, while the release force is the sum of the EA force and dry adhesion. The increase over time of the EA force and support reaction illustrate the increasing effect of charge injection and of remanent polarization.
