Untethered wavelength-selective multi-shape programmable hybrid soft robot

Abstract Untethered stimuli-responsive soft robotics is a promising field with potential applications in healthcare, automation, and human-robot interaction. However, current limitations restrict many soft robots to binary shape actuation, limiting their functionality to a single mechanical task. In...
