Light-Responsive Soft Actuators: Mechanism, Materials, Fabrication, and Applications

Soft robots are those that can move like living organisms and adapt to the surrounding environment. Compared with traditional rigid robots, the advantages of soft robots, in terms of material flexibility, human–computer interaction, and biological adaptability, have received extensive attention. Fle...
