Inspired by physically adaptive, agile, reconfigurable and multifunctional soft-bodied
animals and human muscles, soft actuators have been developed for a variety of …

Snap‐through bistability is often observed in nature (eg, fast snap** to closure of Venus
flytrap) and the life (eg, bottle caps and hair clippers). Recently, harnessing bistability and …

Rationally designed architected materials have attained previously untapped territories in
materials property space. The properties and behaviours of architected materials need not …

Most soft robots are pneumatically actuated and fabricated by molding and assembling
processes that typically require many manual operations and limit complexity. Furthermore …

Soft robots have recently attracted increased attention because their characteristics of low‐
cost fabrication, durability, and deformability make them uniquely suited for applications in …

Mechanical mechanisms have been used to process information for millennia, with famous
examples ranging from the Antikythera mechanism of the Ancient Greeks to the analytical …

Autonomous robots comprise actuation, energy, sensory and control systems built from
materials and structures that are not necessarily designed and integrated for …

Edible robots and robotic food—edible systems that perceive, process and act upon
stimulation—could open a new range of opportunities in health care, environmental …

Pneumatically actuated soft robots have recently shown promise for their ability to adapt to
their environment. Previously, these robots have been controlled with electromechanical …
