I can’t get enough of this magnetically actuated soft robot, even if it’s only loosely defined as one. Check it out!
Researchers from SDU (DK) and ETH (CH) are introducing kirigami into a soft magnetic sheet to achieve bidirectional crawling under rotating magnetic fields. Experimentally characterized crawling and deformation profiles, combined with numerical simulations, reveal programmable motion through changes in cut shape, magnet orientation, and translational motion. This work offers a simple approach to developing untethered soft robots.
Thanks, Ahmad!
