Procedure

We fixed four fabricated LCE tubular actuators (embedded with two heating wires) to the acrylic plate and controlled the actuator using Arduino Mini (3.0 V). A MOSFET (IRLB3034PBF) was used to magnify the signal, and a lithium/polymer battery (uxcell DC 3.7 V, 1300 mAh) was used as the power source for the system.
