Motile plant structures (e.g., leaves, petals, cone scales, and capsules) are functionally highly robust and resilient concept generators for the development of biomimetic actuators for architecture. Here, a concise review of the state‐of‐the‐art of plant movement principles and derived biomimetic devices is provided. Achieving complex and higher‐dimensional shape changes and passive‐hydraulic actuation...
Motile hygroscopic plant structures simultaneously fulfill functions as a sensor, actuator, and support structure in a single materials system, making them ideal candidates for the development of biomimetic hydraulic actuators. In article 1703653, Simon Poppinga and co‐workers discuss related biomimetic approaches, provide a theoretical concept to escape the poroelastic timescale limitation, show...
