Biohybrid soft robots with self-stimulating skeletons.

Science robotics
Bioinspired hybrid soft robots that combine living and synthetic components are an emerging field in the development of advanced actuators and other robotic platforms (i.e., swimmers, crawlers, and walkers). The integration of biological components o...

Climbing robots in a sticky situation.

Science robotics
Mussel-inspired electro-responsive adhesive hydrogels enable robot climbing on conductive surfaces.

Programmable and reprocessable multifunctional elastomeric sheets for soft origami robots.

Science robotics
Tunable, soft, and multifunctional robots are contributing to developments in medical and rehabilitative robotics, human-machine interaction, and intelligent home technology. A key aspect of soft robot fabrication is the ability to use flexible and e...

Somatosensory actuator based on stretchable conductive photothermally responsive hydrogel.

Science robotics
Mimicking biological neuromuscular systems' sensory motion requires the unification of sensing and actuation in a singular artificial muscle material, which must not only actuate but also sense their own motions. These functionalities would be of gre...

Tiny robots make big advances.

Science robotics
This special issue showcases developments in microactuation, microparticle control, and micro/nanorobots for biomedicine.

A cellular platform for the development of synthetic living machines.

Science robotics
Robot swarms have, to date, been constructed from artificial materials. Motile biological constructs have been created from muscle cells grown on precisely shaped scaffolds. However, the exploitation of emergent self-organization and functional plast...

Progress in robotics for combating infectious diseases.

Science robotics
The world was unprepared for the COVID-19 pandemic, and recovery is likely to be a long process. Robots have long been heralded to take on dangerous, dull, and dirty jobs, often in environments that are unsuitable for humans. Could robots be used to ...

Dual-responsive biohybrid neutrobots for active target delivery.

Science robotics
Swimming biohybrid microsized robots (e.g., bacteria- or sperm-driven microrobots) with self-propelling and navigating capabilities have become an exciting field of research, thanks to their controllable locomotion in hard-to-reach areas of the body ...

Micrometer-sized electrically programmable shape-memory actuators for low-power microrobotics.

Science robotics
Shape-memory actuators allow machines ranging from robots to medical implants to hold their form without continuous power, a feature especially advantageous for situations where these devices are untethered and power is limited. Although previous wor...

Swarming behavior and in vivo monitoring of enzymatic nanomotors within the bladder.

Science robotics
Enzyme-powered nanomotors are an exciting technology for biomedical applications due to their ability to navigate within biological environments using endogenous fuels. However, limited studies into their collective behavior and demonstrations of tra...
