Stimuli-responsive polymer-based bioinspired soft robots

Abstract Soft robotics enables various applications in certain environments where conventional rigid cannot deliver the same performance due to their form factor and stiffness. Animals use soft external organs carry out activities response challenging natural efficiently. The objective of robots is provide biologically inspired abilities enable adaptable flexible interactions with complex objects surroundings. Recent advances stimuli-responsive robot technology have heavily used polymer-based multifunctional materials. incredibly sophisticated multi-mechanical, electrical, or optical capabilities demonstrated ability modify shape intelligently stimuli, such as light, electricity, thermal gradient, magnetic fields. This short review covers recent scientific techniques for incorporating polymeric materials into bioinspired applications. We also discuss how biological inspiration environmental effects can a viable viewpoint design innovative field robotics. Lastly, we highlight future outlooks prospects soft, stimuli-responsive, bio-inspired robots.
