Abstract
In this study, a soft actuator for micro-robot using IPMC(Ionic Polymer Metal Composite) which bends with applied voltage and energy supply method using external magnetic field are studied. And driving test for a fish robot with IPMC fin actuator and a drive circuit design for the fish robot were done. In driving experiment, the fin only of IPMC and the fin that had combined PET seat with IPMC were used. As a result, the generation of the impellent was proven.
