摘要: Robots generally excel at specific tasks in structured environments but lack the versatility and adaptability required to interact with locomote within natural world. To increase robot design, we present robotic skins that can wrap around arbitrary soft bodies induce desired motions deformations. Robotic integrate actuation sensing into a single conformable material may be leveraged create multitude of controllable robots different functions or gaits accommodate demands environments. We show attaching same skin body ways, bodies, leads distinct motions. Further, combining multiple enables complex functions. demonstrate this design approach wide range applications-including manipulation tasks, locomotion, wearables-using two-dimensional (2D) reconfigured on surface various 3D soft, inanimate objects.
