Soft Materials and Devices Enabling Sensorimotor Functions in Soft Robots

Chemical Reviews, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: March 31, 2025

Sensorimotor functions, the seamless integration of sensing, decision-making, and actuation, are fundamental for robots to interact with their environments. Inspired by biological systems, incorporation soft materials devices into robotics holds significant promise enhancing these functions. However, current systems often lack autonomy intelligence observed in nature due limited sensorimotor integration, particularly flexible sensing actuation. As field progresses toward soft, flexible, stretchable materials, developing such becomes increasingly critical advanced robotics. Despite rapid advancements individually devices, combined applications enable capabilities emerging. This review addresses this emerging providing a comprehensive overview that functions robots. We delve latest development technologies, actuation mechanism, structural designs, fabrication techniques. Additionally, we explore strategies control, artificial (AI), practical application across various domains as healthcare, augmented virtual reality, exploration. By drawing parallels aims guide future research robots, ultimately adaptability unstructured

Three-Dimensionally Architected Tactile Electronic Skins

ACS Nano, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: April 7, 2025

Tactile electronic skins (e-skins) are flexible devices that aim to replicate tactile sensing capabilities of the human skin, while possessing skin-like geometric features and materials properties. Since skin is composed complex 3D constructions, where various types mechanoreceptors distributed in a spatial layout, an important trend e-skin development involves introduction device architectures can certain structural skins. The resulting architected e-skins have demonstrated advantages detection shear forces decoupled perception multiple mechanical stimuli, which pivotal importance many application scenarios. In this perspective, we summarize main biological prototypes existing e-skins, focus on key related capabilities. Then highlight enhanced terms super-resolution predictions diverse physical properties surface object, allow for broad spectrum practical applications, such as object recognition, human-machine interactions, dexterous manipulation, health monitoring. Finally, discuss scientific challenges opportunities future developments e-skins.
