Structurally isolated photoactuation of graphene-mixed temperature-responsive hydrogels in soft-rigid series structure

Abstract This paper presents fabrication and actuation methods for a soft microrobot with a hybrid structure composed of soft microactuators and a rigid supporting body. This hybrid structure enables actuation of the microrobot with independent driving of multiple actuators to provide complex moveme...
