本文介绍了一种水驱动软执行器。在过去已经报道了由各种外部刺激（例如气压、温度、pH、电场和光）驱动的软致动器。虽然它们非常有吸引力，但它们通常需要硬的外部设备来驱动，并且响应速度通常很慢。所研制的水驱动驱动器是由聚丙烯酸钠包裹可拉伸网状尼龙。通过一些实验，证实了所开发的装置的膨胀和收缩现象取决于流体流动而发生。当尼龙中加入适量的聚丙烯酸钠时，可以发现这种现象。研究了该现象所需的聚丙烯酸钠的量。通过实验，证实了膨胀和收缩的位移和响应速度分别是大的和快的，尽管其简单的实施方式。
In this paper, a water driven soft actuator is introduced. Soft actuators driven by various external stimuli, such as air pressure, temperature, pH, electric field, and light have been reported in the past. Although they are very attractive, they often require hard external devices for driving and the response speeds are often slow. The developed water driven actuator was with sodium polyacrylate wrapped by stretchable meshed nylon. Through some experiments, it was confirmed that swell and shrink phenomena of the developed device occur depending on the fluid flow. The phenomena could be found when adequate quantity of sodium polyacrylate was inside of the nylon. The amount of sodium polyacrylate that is required for the phenomenon was investigated. Through the experiments, it was confirmed that the displacement and the response speed of the swell and shrink were large and fast, respectively, in spite of its simple implementation.
