1. Skin-like soft driving system for wirelessly activated fully soft robots.
Skin-like soft driving system for wirelessly activated fully soft robots. (A) Conceptual illustration of e-skin–mediated soft robotic assembly and wireless activation. The e-skin pair can be softly, compactly, and reversibly assembled into separate soft body frames (robot and human); wirelessly interact with each other; and then activate and control the robot, realizing fully soft robots. (B) Activating and operating behavior of the integrated soft robot visualized by thermographic mapping. In this design, dynamic actuation profiles can be shared with every robot part. (C) The embedded controlling e-skin that interacts with human for user-interactive pressure sensing.
