Abstract: Wireless actuation of conducting polymers represents an emerging approach for developing multifunctional soft devices that couple electrical, mechanical, and optical responses. In this work, a polypyrrole‐based composite incorporating a π‐conjugated fluorophore (2',7'‐bis([2,2'‐bithiophen]‐5‐yl)fluorene) is designed to achieve simultaneous electromechanical deformation and fluorescence emission under bipolar electrochemical stimulation. The composite films are produced by electropolymerization, resulting in a homogeneous fluorophore distribution. The electromechanically driven dye release is confirmed by in situ spectroscopic measurements, which show a direct correlation between fluorescence intensity and the applied external electric field. The optical response of the device enables mapping of the electroactivity of the bipolar electrode via a dual dynamic/light‐emitting readout under the influence of alternating electric fields. This study demonstrates a straightforward strategy to achieve a double readout of physicochemical information based on actuation and light emission with soft actuators, making them useful for the design of novel, advanced multimodal sensing systems.
