This paper presents design, fabrication, characterization of an artificial muscle utilizing the electro-conjugate fluid (ECF). The ECF is a kind of dielectric and functional fluid, which generates powerful jet flow (ECF-jet) under an electrostatic field applied with a pair of electrodes. It is experimentally clarified the smaller electrodes generate more powerful ECF-jet. The authors propose in this study a new type of micro artificial muscle or an ECF-jet driven micro artificial muscle cell. This soft actuator with power source inside is compact enough for integration. By integrating the large number of cells, we can realize a macro-sized artificial muscle. In this paper, we fabricate a large-model of ECF-jet driven micro artificial muscle cell (φ13.5mm×14mm), and investigate its driving characteristics.
