The actuators are oil-filled plastic bags, similar to those used to
make ice cubes.
About half of each bag is coated on either side with a black electrode
made of a conductive material.
Buchner explains that "as soon as we apply a voltage to the
electrodes,
they are attracted to each other due to static electricity.
...
"
And press the fluid out....
So electrostatic actuators!
How does that not violate thermodynamics? You seem to be getting useful
power from zero energy.
How do little pieces of paper defy gravity when you put a charged comb
near them? Isn't the energy supplied by rubbing the comb against some
material to give it the charge to attract the paper? Where does the
voltage come from which is applied to the bag electrodes?

Didn't we discuss something like this not too long ago, or was it in
another NG?

That was right here in s.e.d in July. And no, thermodynamics, or
rather conservation of energy is not violated. It never is.

I don't think that they can get useful amounts of work out of these
things. The Science Daily article is useless, as always, and I did
not bother to read the paper.

unlike the trillions spend at CERN that never do anything for anybody.
I would cancel all funding to CERN if they did not come up with something revolutionary and practical useful in a year.
He who does not want to see is practically blind.
