An electrostatic actuator has a first polymeric layer formed with an arch, a first electrode of metal deposited upon the first polymeric layer; a second polymeric layer formed flat; a second electrode of metal deposited upon the second polymeric layer; and a dielectric disposed on the second electrode. The second polymeric layer is mechanically coupled to the first polymeric layer at a first and second end of the arch. In an embodiment, the actuator has a pair of legs attached to the arch of the first polymeric layer to form a crawler unit. In another embodiment a steerable robot has a first crawling unit with its second polymeric layer mechanically coupled to the second polymeric layer of a second crawling unit.
