Recent advances in lithography technology and the spread of 3D printers allow us a facile
fabrication of special materials with complicated microstructures. The materials are called …

Auxetic structures have theoretically superior bending resistance that was previously
inaccessible. Compared with the planar two-dimensional (2D) auxetic structures, the three …

Soft robotics has been receiving increasing attention due to its flexibility and adaptability
offered by embodied intelligence. A soft robot may undergo complex motions including …

The development and use of architectured structures is changing the means by which we
design and fabricate soft robots. These materials utilize their topology and geometry to …

Shape‐morphing capabilities of metamaterials can be expanded by developing approaches
that enable the integration of different types of cellular structures. Herein, a rational material …

Tubular structures are in high demand in robotics, medicine, and electronics. They are
expected to match different shapes under loading and simultaneously exhibit certain …

Origami metamaterials have gained considerable attention for their ability to control
mechanical properties through folding. Consequently, there is a need to develop systematic …

Earthworm-like soft robots have been widely studied for various applications, such as
medical endoscopy and pipeline inspection. Many actuation modes have been chosen to …

Pneumatic soft actuators (PSAs) are components that produce predesigned motion or force
in different end-use devices. PSAs are lightweight, flexible, and compatible in human …

Though they are compliant, nimble and morpho-logically intelligent, fluidic soft robots often
rely on bulky components for power and actuation. This work contributes a design …
