Abstract

This paper proposes an IPMC actuating system with a bio-mimetic function. EMG signals generated by an intended contraction of muscles in forearm are used for the actuation of the IPMC. To obtain higher actuation force of the IPMC, the single layered as thick as 800 [${\mu}$m] or multi-layered IPMC (Nafion) of which each layer can be as thick as 178 [${\mu}$m] are prepared. The experimental results using an implemented IPMC control system show a possibility and a usability of the bio-mimetic artificial muscle.
