A co-polymer made from Polyvinyl Alcohol and Polyacrylic Acid (PVA-PAA) has been synthesized to form new robotic actuation systems which use the contractile and variable compliance properties of this material. The stimulation of these fibres is studi... Read More about Compliant polymeric actuators as robot drive units.
