Summary:This study explores the design and performance of Twisted and Coiled Polymer Fiber Actuators (TCPFAs), focusing on their mechanical and functional properties. TCPFAs, which utilize a polymer fiber structure twisted and coiled to enhance actuation capabilities, are investigated for their potential applications in adaptive materials and soft robotics. The research involves the fabrication of TCPFAs, followed by a series of experiments to verify its feasibility of grasping a variety of tested objects.
