We present a self-deformable flexible tweezer capable of simultaneous mechanical handling and electrical measurements. The tweezer has a soft cantilever with the dimensions 2 mm    $\times8$    mm    $\times $    75-   $100~\mu \text{m}$   , and undergoes self-deformation. The device is shown to be successfully capable of detecting electrical signals by gently touching the surface and grasping a spherical bead. The device demonstrated the lowest working voltage (1.5 VDC), force suitable for soft gripping, and curvature radius of 2 mm, that was one of the smallest values compared to that of similar state-of-the-art devices. The device was fabricated using a unique and highly reliable process that was specifically developed to produce flexible cantilevers with novel ionic polymer-metal composites (IPMCs). The materials used were poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-trifluoroethylene) (PVDF-TrFE) and an ionic liquid (IL). The PVDF-TrFE/IL gel was prepared using acetone as the solvent and the gel was coated with silver nanowires as the electrodes. The actuator with a length of 8 mm and containing 50 wt&#x0025; IL yielded the largest bending displacement of 7 mm and minimum curvature radius of 2 mm at 1.5 VDC. &#x005B;2022-0026&#x005D;
