Challenges and Perspectives in Control of Ionic Polymer-Metal Composite (IPMC) Actuators: A Survey

Challenges and Perspectives in Control of Ionic Polymer-Metal Composite (IPMC) Actuators: A Survey

Ionic polymer-metal composites (IPMC) are electroactive polymers expected to be used as soft actuators in various practical areas like robotics, biomedicine and micro manipulation systems. Though IPMC actuators have many advantages (lightweight, noiseless operation, low operating voltage, possibilit...
