An electromechanical actuator comprising an inherently conducting polymer and a conductor for conducing voltage along the polymer from a first end region thereof. The conductor is adapted for axially extending and contracting with axial expansion and contraction of the polymer. In one form, the conductor is in the form of a helix embedded in the polymer and extends along substantially the entire length of the polymer. Also disclosed is a method for manufacture of the electromechanical actuator.
