In order to deeply study the driving performance of ionic liquid gel (ILG)as ionic electroactive polymer,developed a novel soft actuator based on ILG and conducted a detailed investigation into the electromechanical coupling model of the ILG soft actuator. According to the material properties and current response law of electroactive polymers,established electromechanical coupling equations and driving equations for ILG soft actuator based on the equivalent transformer model of ionic polymer-metal composite actuators proposed by Claudia Bonomo. The least squares method was used to identify the coupling model of the ILG soft actuator, and the influence of structural parameters on the end displacement and driving force of the soft actuator was analyzed, providing a theoretical basis for the control of soft actuators. The electromechanical coupling model of the ionic liquid gel soft actuator is established, which lays a foundation for the development of ionic liquid gel soft robots.
