Kirigami Makes a Soft Magnetic Sheet Crawl (Adv. Sci. 25/2023)

摘要

Magnetic Kirigami Robot In article 2301895, Ahmad Rafsanjani, Ahmet F. Demirörs, and co‐workers introduce kirigami into a soft magnetic sheet to achieve bidirectional crawling under rotating magnetic fields. Experimentally characterized crawling and deformation profiles, combined with numerical simulations, reveal programmable motion through changes in cut shape, magnet orientation, and translational motion. This work offers a simple approach toward untethered soft robots. Image credit: Acrylic painting by Negin Sarbaz Hosseini. [Image: see text]
