Micro pumps with various driving systems have been developed and they have been carried out with experimental and numerical approaches so far. The purpose of the present study is to develop the micro pump driven by conducting polymer soft actuator based on polypyrrole and to clarify the basic characteristics of the micro pump. Especially, we measure energy consumption of the micro pump driven by conducting polymer soft actuators and compare that results with that of the conventional micro pumps. The micro pump driven by a conducting polymer soft actuator can transport fluids in one direction without backflow by two soft actuators with opening and closing movement. The energy consumption rates of our micro pump are dramatically lower than those of the conventional micro pumps. This is because a conducting polymer soft actuator drives with a low voltage and a micro pump with low energy consumption is realized here.
