In this letter, we present an electro-driven cylindrical actuator system composed of a bilayered liquid crystal elastomer/carbon black (LCE/CB) electro-driven soft actuator and a conductive track. The bilayered LCE/CB electro-driven actuator consists of an inner LCE circular band and several U-shaped CB conductive regions stuck on the outer surface of the LCE ring. Benefiting from the effective Joule heating of CB powder and the consequential inhomogeneous stress generated inside the bilayered LCE/CB film, the cylindrical actuator can roll forward with a rate of 1.6 mm/s along a stationary copper conductive track powered by a 50 V d.c. supply. The dynamic connection between the rolling actuator and the conductive track effectively eliminates the limitation of elec. wires in the complicated actuation set-ups of the LCE materials. This work might promote the development of electro-driven LCE actuators and have potential applications in the fields of soft robots and elec. devices.
