Article Preview

Abstract:

In this manuscript, a bionic linear actuator was developed base on the ionic actuator: ionicpolymer metal composites, and the mainly fabrication method was presented in the currentinvestigation. Subsequently, a bionic robot was developed using 3D printing technique to fabricatethe skeleton structure and the presented Bi-IPMC(assembled by two segmented IPMC strip) linearactuator as the driving power. After a mathematical model of bionic robot, a experimented bionicrobot was manufactured to investigate. The results founded that our bionic robot behaved a maximumbounce height arrived at 22mm under applied 5V direct current, and the bounce height can keep onthe values of 18mm over the applied voltage of 4V.
