One Actuator and Several Sensors in One Device with only Two Connecting Wires: Mimicking Muscle/Brain Feedback

Article Preview

Abstract:

Artificial muscles based on conducting polymers, fullerene derivatives, carbon nanotubes, graphenes or other carbon derivative molecular structures are electrochemomechanical actuators. Electrochemical reactions drive most of the volume variation and the concomitant actuation. So under flow of a constant current, any working or surrounding variable influencing the reaction rate will be sensed by the muscle potential, or by the consumed energy, evolution during actuation. Experimental results and full theoretical description will be presented. The muscle potential is a well defined function of: driving current, volume variation (external pressure or hanged masses), temperature and electrolyte concentration. While working artificial muscles detect any change of whatever of those variables by changing either its potential or its consumed energy evolution. Experimental changes fit those predicted by the theoretical description. Only two connecting wires contain, simultaneously, actuating (current) and sensing (potential) signals. Those constitute new feedback intelligent and biomimetic devices opening new technological borders and mimicking natural muscles/brain communication.
