Abstract
On page 6334, R. F. Shepherd and co-workers present pneumatically actuated soft machines based on elastomer foams. These foams are easily molded into complex, 3D shapes and retain an innate pore network for inflation. This is demonstrated through fabrication of both simple actuators and an entirely soft, functional fluid pump formed in the shape of the human heart.
