초록/요약
Ionic polymer metal composite (IPMC), one of Electro-Active Polymer (EAP) actuators, has great attention due to the low-voltage, large deformation and its potential for artificial muscles. In this paper, we firstly fabricate Nafion-based IPMC using Silicone rubber to carve the desired pattern on IPMC. We put nafion between two silicone rubbers and went through the IPMC fabrication process. Furthermore we review fish swimming modes using various propulsion mechanisms. Based on the swimming mechanisms, we develop an underwater robot actuator which mimics the fanning motion of dolphin. It consists of one actuators fabricated by using IPMC and PET film which mimics Bio-inspired motion. Experiments using a prototype show that the IPMC fin actuator generates large deformation and propulsion. The experimental results indicate that changing the amplitude and the frequency of input voltage can control the swimming speed of the proposed underwater IPMC device.
