Abstract Nature frequently serves as an inspiration for modern robotics innovations that emphasize secure human–machine interaction. However, the advantages of increased automation and digital technology integration conflict with global environmental objectives. Accordingly, biodegradable soft robots have been proposed a range intelligent applications. Biodegradability provides extraordinary functional advantage operations involving shape transformation in response to external stimuli such heat, pH, light. Soft robot fabrication using conventional manufacturing techniques is inflexible, time‐consuming, labor‐intensive. Recent advances 3D 4D printing materials multi‐materials become key enabling direct manufacture complex designs functions. This review comprises detailed survey sensors actuators (BSSA), which serve most prominent parts each robotic system. In addition, concise overview 3D‐printed flexible devices medical along industrial applications provided. A complete summary current additive BSSA discussed depth.
