Soft robots have the appealing advantages of being highly flexible and adaptive to complex environments. However, the low‐stiffness nature of the constituent materials makes soft robotic systems incompetent in tasks requiring relatively high load capacity. Despite recent attempts to develop stiffness‐tunable soft actuators by employing variable stiffness materials and structures, the reported stiffness‐tunable...
In article number 1806698, Guoying Gu, Qi Ge, and co‐workers develop a paradigm to design and manufacture fast‐response, stiffness‐tunable (FRST) soft actuators via hybrid multimaterial 3D printing. The robotic gripper with three FRST actuators demonstrates a high load capacity and shape adaptivity by lifting objects with arbitrary shapes and various weights spanning from less than 10 g to 1.5 kg...
