Stimuli-responsive materials have sparked enormous interest in recent years due to their potential applications in micro-machines, soft robots, biomedical systems, etc. [1-6]. A variety of intelligent polymeric materials such as shape memory polymers [7, 8], polymer gels [9, 10], conducting polymers [11, 12], and dielectric elastomers [13,14] have been developed for these applications. Compared to other stimulus-driven methods including pressure [15], heat [16, 17], electric field... [Pg.301]

The soft actuators are especially advantageous for use in soft robotics applications, which benefit the most fiom the actuator s (a) capability for high strains and (b) compliance to different environments and surface textures (Ilievski et al. 2011). Considering the particularly potential applications, the time needed for an actuator to transform from its initial shape into its desired final shape is one of its most important characteristics. As a comparison, precise control over the transitory position and actuation speed ean be of secondary importance in soft robotics applications. [Pg.478]
