Polypyrrole Soft Actuators [PDF]
, 2011 Organic soft actuators attract strong attentions because they have many advantages compared to conventional mechanical actuators. Organic soft actuators are generally light and flexibly deformed. In addition, they operate under low voltage ranges as low as 1 volt or so, and generate no sound during deformation.
