Abstract
An electrostatic linear actuator model using polymer and ceramics dielectrics has been manufactured. The model consists of a motor made of BaTiO_3-epoxy regular slats and two parallel stators with comb-like electrodes. The electrodes produced high field and low field regions in the sliding direction and a stepwise movement of motor. The potential of the present method was discussed as it can produce several times larger tensile force than skeletal muscle and high speed response.
