An on-demand plant-based actuator created using conformable electrodes

Owing to their adaptive interfacial properties, soft actuators can be used perform more delicate tasks than rigid counterparts. However, traditional polymeric rely on energy conversion for actuation, resulting in high power input or slow responses. Here we report an electrical plant-based actuator that uses a conformable interface as modulating unit and Venus flytrap actuating unit. Using frequency-dependent action-potential modulation, accurate on-demand actuation is possible, with response times tuned 1.3 s of only 10−5 W. The wirelessly controlled using smartphone. It also installed range platforms (including finger robotic hand) grasp thin wires capture moving objects. By unit, biohybrid created efficient responsive, it via
