| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research project focuses on ion-exchange membranes, fundamental materials in various electrochemical processes, to aim to create and control "flexible movements," which is one of essential elements of soft robots. Specifically, (1) we have developed methods for forming diverse three-dimensional shapes in soft actuators utilizing membrane deformation induced by material transport within ion-exchange membranes upon voltage application. Additionally, (2) we achieved flexible electromechanical artificial muscles by utilizing volume changes of gas-liquid due to gas generation and absorption through electrode reactions at the membrane/electrode interface. Through these advancements, we have established foundational technologies for achieving "flexible movements" in actuation using ion-exchange membranes.
