Operating principle and displacement response of the electrically driven "soft yarn" (soft fiber actuator). (A) Voltage induces electrostatic forces between electrodes, causing deformation. (B) Measurement setup schematic. (C) Tip displacement under AC voltage shows stable periodic motion synchronized with the input.
