Actuation Properties Investigation: A Muscle like Linear Actuator Based on Biopolymer Material: Ionic Polymer Metal Composites

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this manuscript, a muscle-like linear actuator based on the combination of Bi-IPMC linear actuator unit was developed focusing on the applied requirements in the biomimetic artificial muscles using as the actuators. Subsequently, the muscle-like linear actuator was mainly fabricated by two segmented IPMC film, which is obtained through a special process and the actuation performance of the muscle-like linear actuator was further experimented by the testing platform. The results found our actuator behaved a high displacement performance, and this kind of muscle-like linear actuator has a potential value in the engineering practice.
