Hydrogel soft robotics
Open accessAbstract
With the rapidly growing attention to human-robot interfaces, soft robotics has attracted a great deal of interest. Soft robots have diverse advantages, including compliancy and safety, which contribute to seamless interactions with humans. To boost progress in the field, there is a need for compliant materials. Hydrogels are promising as compliant materials for soft robots because of their outstanding features, including high stretchability, transparency, ion conductivity, and biocompatibility. Furthermore, hydrogels provide innovative capabilities for soft robotics based on their unique responsiveness to stimuli. In this review, we discuss the unique features of hydrogel-based soft robots, from their fundamental working mechanisms to notable applications. Finally, we suggest perspectives on future directions that addressing potential challenges in the field of hydrogel soft robotics.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
