Conducting polypyrrole actuators are widely used in sensors and bionic robots because of their high conductivity, flexibility and biocompatibility. Based on the theory of cantilever beam, the equivalent mechanical model of conducting polypyrrole actuator is built, and the bending characteristics of different length actuators under different voltage are studied by using the bending characteristics test system of polypyrrole actuator, and the functional relationship between voltage and bending displacement. By lifting the weight with the actuator, it is verified that the free end of the actuator can withstand the force.
