Electroactive Polymers for Robotic Application: Artificial Muscles and Sensors
Electroactive polymers (EAPs) reply to electric stimulation with huge deformations. they're dynamic actuators that have attracted consciousness from an interdisciplinary viewers of engineers and scientists. An permitting EAP know-how is rising which makes an attempt to mimic the houses of usual muscle and which, therefore, can practice a special functionality in quite a few biologically-inspired robotics functions.
