Inspired by the common flicking finger motion, Ying Hu, Jiaqin Liu, Wei Chen, and co‐workers describe in article number 1704388 a novel soft jumping robot based on the rolled carbon nanotube/polymer bilayer actuator with the two ends serving as thumb and middle finger, respectively. Upon light irradiation, this soft robot can jump up, accompanied by somersaults in the air, due to the energy accumulation...
Designing multistimuli responsive soft actuators which can mimic advanced and sophisticated biological movements through simple configuration is highly demanded for the biomimetic robotics application. Here, inspired by the human's flick finger behavior which can release large force output, a soft jumping robot mimicking the gymnast's somersault is designed based on the rolled carbon nanotube/polymer...
