Development of magnetically controlled soft robot based on 3D printed hard magnetic soft material
In recent years,magnetic soft robots have received widespread attention for their excellent biosafety,environmental adaptability and rapid response capability,and have demonstrated great application potential in biomedical and other fields.Aiming at the problem of the direct ink writing(DIW)3D printing of magnetic soft robots,the material design is optimized according to the requirements and material properties,and a hard magnetic soft material ink with stable printability is prepared.On this basis,the printability of the hybrid ink is verified by rheological experiments,and the fabrication of a hard magnetic soft robot is completed using DIW.After that,a multimodal magnetic soft robot for cargo handling is designed and fabricated,the robot can move in both crawling and rolling modes under the action of an external magnetic field,with both cargo handling and placement capabilities.The proposed 3D printing method of magneto-soft robot will provide a basis for the material selection and wide application of magneto-soft robot in the future.
