Ionic shape-morphing microrobotic end-effectors for environmentally adaptive targeting, releasing, and sampling

Making environmentally responsive materials often requires the use of multi-material devices. Here, the authors report on the use of electric field patterning of alginate hydrogels to make environmentally responsive actuators and demonstrate a range of applications in response to ionic triggers.
