Piezoelectric actuators have been applied in many research and industrial fields. However, how to improve the working performance of piezoelectric actuators is still a hot issue. Up to now, many new motion principles have been developed for new piezoelectric actuators. The bionic type piezoelectric actuator is a kind of the novel piezoelectric actuators, and it imitates the motion style of different creatures in nature to overcome the limitation of traditional piezoelectric actuators. Bionic type piezoelectric actuators are able to achieve large working stroke or large output force, which is of great significance for the development of piezoelectric actuators. The principle, design, and future of some bionic type piezoelectric actuators are discussed in this chapter.
