Abstract Soft robots not only possess greater degrees of freedom and the capability for continuous transformation, but they also offer exceptionally high safety in human–robot interactions, avoiding harm to human body. actuators are essential developing high-performance soft robots, offering significant bending deformation, rapid response times, prolonged operational capabilities. Herein, we present an ionic electroactive actuator based on functional cellulose nanofibers, graphene nanoplatelets, liquid. The proposed achieved a large displacement about ±8 mm under 2.0 V at 0.1 Hz, with long working stability (98% initial peak maintained after 1260 cycles cycling). interaction applications this were explored by simulating fingers. More importantly, static dynamic sensing performances investigated, finding that it generated voltage 0.37 vibration 1.75 mm. designed provides promising approach actuators, flexible sensors, active devices.
