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...

An 88-milligram insect-scale autonomous crawling robot driven by a catalytic artificial muscle.

Science robotics
The creation of autonomous subgram microrobots capable of complex behaviors remains a grand challenge in robotics largely due to the lack of microactuators with high work densities and capable of using power sources with specific energies comparable ...

An integrated design and fabrication strategy for entirely soft, autonomous robots.

Nature
Soft robots possess many attributes that are difficult, if not impossible, to achieve with conventional robots composed of rigid materials. Yet, despite recent advances, soft robots must still be tethered to hard robotic control systems and power sou...
