Bioinspired Liquid Metal Based Soft Humanoid Robots (Adv. Mater. 35/2024)

Abstract

Bioinspired Liquid Metal The liquid metal is becoming a transformative force for driving the evolution of ever advanced robots. In article number 2404330, Nan Li, Jing Liu, and co-workers systematically outlined a blueprint for constructing soft humanoid robots thus enabled. The versatile roles of liquid metals in making soft actuators, sensors, batteries, logic devices, deformable bones and the bioinspired integrated system are summarized. Such designing theory would help revolutionize the working and functioning of new generation humanoid robots.
