Abstract: As a new intelligent material, IPMC can be driven under low voltage with quick response to its deformation. With IPMC used as an actuator, a miniature fish-like robot was designed, which can be controlled by an infrared remote controller. The running direction and speed of the robot can be changed by readjusting the driving voltage amplitude/frequency to the IPMC. The different running speeds of the robot excited by sinusoidal wave and square wave were compared experimentally with each other, with the impact of the driving signal amplitude/frequency on the running speed verified. Experimental results showed that taking IPMC as actuator is available.
