In this manuscript, a muscle-like linear actuator based on the combination of Bi- IPMC(assembled by two segmented IPMC strip) linear actuator unit was developed focusing on the applied requirements in the biomimetic artificial muscles using as the actuators. Subsequently, the muscle-like linear actuator was mainly fabricated by two segmented IPMC film, which is obtained through a special process and the actuation performance of the muscle-like linear actuator was further experimented by the testing platform. The results found our actuator behaved a high displacement performance, and this kind of muscle-like linear actuator has a potential value in the biomedical practice, such as surgical probe, micro prosthesis and etc.
