摘要

The acronym, EAP (Electroactive polymers), and the synonymous term, artificial muscles, are now well recognized among scientists and engineers worldwide. Prior to 1999, development of such materials has been done at few research institutes in the US, Japan, Italy and Australia and had with minimal visibility and limited cooperation. The EAPAD Conference has been the first major international forum of communicating the development in the field of EAP. At the opening of the first Conf. that was held in 1999, the author posed an arm-wrestling challenge in an effort to promote worldwide advances towards the realization of the potentials of these materials. In posing the challenge, he sought to see EAP activated robotic arms win against human in wrestling match and thus provide a gauge to the technology state. In the contests that were held in 2005 and 2006, the arms lost against the high school female student who wrestled with them - their measured speed and force were about two orders of magnitude lower that the student. Even though no other contest was held since then, the progress in the field indicates that winning the challenge is becoming increasingly more likely. The improvements have led to many applications and many of them were presented at the annual EAPAD conferences and demonstrated at their EAP-in-Action Session. The applications included soft robots, steering mechanisms, brail displays, miniature grippers, loudspeakers, active diaphragm and pumps, toys as well as many others. This manuscript provides a brief review of the advances that were reported since the first EAPAD Conference, including the state of the art, challenges and the expectations for the field.
