Reconfigurable Soft Robots: Advanced Artificial Muscle for Flexible Material‐Based Reconfigurable Soft Robots (Adv. Sci. 21/2019)

In article number 1901371, Jun Zou and co-workers employ origami structure to design vacuum-powered silicone rubber artificial muscles, which can perform multiple motions. Artificial muscles can be used for rapid reconfiguration of different soft robots, just like "building bricks." The robots allow simpler, less expensive, modular units to be reconfigured into a group depending on the task that needs to be completed.
