摘要
A macroscopic electrochemo-mechanical device, or artificial muscle, with tactile sensitivity capable of pushing an obstacle while sensing the required effort is presented. As such, the magnitude and direction of the experimental current controls both the rate and direction of the movement. Hence, this is an intelligent device working simultaneously as a sensor and as an actuator.
