摘要
A study is performed on the artificial equivalent of muscles, a new developing technology. Artificial muscles are the first commercial products based on a new generation of improved electroactive polymers (EAP), plastics that move in response to electricity. It is reported that the new technology is becoming popular in the market and nearing commercialization.
