In-built thermo-mechanical cooperative feedback mechanism for self-propelled multimodal locomotion and electricity generation

Existing thermal technologies are mainly designed to harvest heat at high temperature, whilst low-grade heat is hardly utilized to date. Here, Wang et al. show an interlocked thermo-mechano feedback mechanism that transfers ambient heat to multimodal locomotions, potentially for soft robotics applic...
