Abstract

Magnetic Soft Robots In article number 2201813, Venkatsubramanian Kalpathy Venkiteswaran and co-workers develop a biocompatible soft polymer film for coating the outer surface of a soft robot which can be controlled using magnetic fields. The Chitosan-Glycerol film endows the robot with ability of locomotion on confined 3D surfaces through the formation of hydrogen bonds with mucus-covered biological surfaces.
