By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-Investigators publish new report on Ro botics. According to news reporting originating from Pasadena, California, by Ne wsRx correspondents, research stated, "Diverse and adaptable modes of complex mo tion observed at different scales in living creatures are challenging to reprodu ce in robotic systems. Achieving dexterous movement in conventional robots can b e difficult due to the many limitations of applying rigid materials." Financial supporters for this research include National Science Foundation (NSF) , Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, Heritage Medical Research Institute. Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from the California Institut e of Technology (Caltech), "Robots based on soft materials are inherently deform able, compliant, adaptable, and adjustable, making soft robotics conducive to cr eating machines with complicated actuation and motion gaits. This review examine s the mechanisms and modalities of actuation deformation in materials that respo nd to various stimuli. Then, strategies based on composite materials are conside red to build toward actuators that combine multiple actuation modes for sophisti cated movements. Examples across literature illustrate the development of soft a ctuators as free-moving, entirely soft-bodied robots with multiple locomotion ga its via careful manipulation of external stimuli. The review further highlights how the application of soft functional materials into robots with rigid componen ts further enhances their locomotive abilities. Finally, taking advantage of the shape-morphing properties of soft materials, reconfigurable soft robots have sh own the capacity for adaptive gaits that enable transition across environments w ith different locomotive modes for optimal efficiency. Overall, soft materials e nable varied multimodal motion in actuators and robots, positioning soft robotic s to make real-world applications for intricate and challenging tasks. Soft robo ts are a promising direction to create machines capable of complex motion observ ed in living creatures. Designing soft actuators that perform a combination of m ultiple actuation modalities allows them to perform intricate tasks."
