Stimulus–responsive actuators play a vital role in the new generation of intelligent systems. However, poor mechanical performance, complicated fabrication processes, and the inability to complex deformation limit their practical applications. Herein, these challenges are overcome via designing a strong hygrothermic wood actuator with asymmetric water affinity. The actuator is readily constructed...
Wood Actuators
In article number 2211437, Wenshuai Chen, Swee Ching Tan, and co‐workers report a wooden robotic hand for dexterous object–hand interactions and fire rescue that generates stretching and bending responses to moisture and heat/light stimulation. Multiple advantages are realized by one device, including good mechanical properties, multi‐stimulus response, complex deformation, wide working...
