Artificial muscles

Electro Active Polymers (EAPs) may provide a solution to the technical problems of implementing and integrating actuation and sensing functions. Mimicking muscles EAPs could employ rather simple transmission systems and hence drastically reduce mechanical complexity.

Literature

Two studies have been conducted on the feasibility of artificial muscles in space applications:
