This article is focused on proposing a unified methodology for automating the measurement procedures of ionic electroactive polymer actuators. The proposed methodology and large-scale automation would make testing ionic electroactive polymer actuators less labor-intensive and allow analyzing many ionic electroactive polymer actuators simultaneously. Defining a clear framework for testing ionic electroactive polymer actuators performance and reliability would make the testing process reproducible and provide better comparison between ionic electroactive polymer actuators of either different or similar classes. Our methodology separates two types of degradation: degradation during operation and spontaneous self-degradation.
