EAPs in general have a wide range of motion. It can also be more precisely controlled.
It's strength at this moment is significantly weaker than SMAs. (Shape Memory Alloy, like Flexinol)
The first world arm wrestling challenge between human and robots using EAP actuated artificial muscle was held last year. This may indicate improvements in the strength of EAPs.
