Autonomous Soft Robots Empowered by Chemical Reaction Networks
Giorgio Fusi, Daniele Del Giudice, Oliver Skarsetz, Stefano Di Stefano, Andreas Walther Read the full article here: Adv. Mater. 2022, 2209870 Hydrogel actuators are important for designing stimuli-sensitive soft robots. They generate mechanical motion by exploiting compartmentalized (de)swelling in response to a stimulus. However, classical switching methods, such as manually lowering or increasing the pH, cannot provide more complex autonomous motions. By coupling an autonom
