Soft Actuator Arrays: Mechanically Programmable Dip Molding of High Aspect Ratio Soft Actuator Arrays (Adv. Funct. Mater. 12/2020)

In article number 1908919, Kaitlyn P. Becker, Yufeng Chen, and Robert J. Wood use dip molding to create integrated arrays of high aspect ratio soft actuators that bend in mechanically programmed patterns. Programming methods demonstrated include the use of fibers, gravity, electric fields, and surface tension. Image credit: Kaitlyn P. Becker and James C. Weaver.
