Bioinspired Soft Microactuators

Soft actuators have the potential of revolutionizing the field of robotics. However, it has been a long‐standing challenge to achieve simultaneously: i) miniaturization of soft actuators, ii) high contrast between materials properties at their “on” and “off” states, iii) significant actuation for high‐payload mechanical work, and iv) ability to perform diverse shape transformations. This challenge is addressed by synergistically utilizing...
