ABSTRACT
This entry covers sensing, transduction, feedback control, and robotic actuation capabilities and issues related to these topics. Ionic polymer-metal nanocomposites (IPMNCs) and ionic polymer conductor nanocomposites (IPCNCs) are amazing tools for soft robotic actuation and built-in sensing and transduction in a distributed manner. One can even see the distributed biomimetic, noiseless nanosensing, nanotransduction, and nanoactuation capabilities of IPMNCs and IPCNCs.
