Self-vectoring electromagnetic soft robots with high operational dimensionality

Achieving efficiently reprogrammable actuation and high operational dimensionality for soft robots with a limited number of actuators are challenging. Here, Li et al. use the vector control to manipulate electromagnetic soft robots enabling reprogrammable shape morphing and multimodal locomotion.
