摘要
Actuators are devices capable of moving or controlling objects and systems by applying mechanical force on them. Among all kinds of actuators with different-shapes, fibrous ones deserve, particular attention:hi vile of their apparent simplicity, actuating fibers allow for very complex actuation behavior. This review discusses different approaches for the design of, actuating fibers, and their advantages and disadvantages. We also discuss, the, prospects for the design of fibers with advanced architectures and complex actuation behavior.
