Liquid‐Metal‐Enhanced Wire Mesh as a Stiffness Variable Material for Making Soft Robotics

Abstract

In article number 1900530, Jing Liu and co-workers present a new kind of stiffness variable materials, liquid-metal enhanced wire mesh which owns good mechanical and electrical properties. Benefited from the liquid-metal enhancer, individual mesh could be easily assembled together in arbitrary shapes by simply organizing them in proper positions. Such strategy opens up an important way for fast fabrication of reconfigurable modular soft robotics that can tolerate large external forces
