An All-Textile Non-muscular Biomimetic Actuator Based on Electrohydrodynamic Swelling

Mass transfer from one part of an organism to another constitutes a fundamental non-muscular movement strategy in living organisms, in particular in plants. The demonstrable simplicity and safety make non-muscular actuators especially attractive for distributed configurations such as in wearable rob...
