An Integrated Soft Jumping Robotic Module Based on Liquid Metals

Abstract

The feasibility of liquid metal (LM) to serve soft machines attracts universal attention. In article number 2100515 Jing Liu and co-workers fabricated a soft jumping robotic module featuring LM-based hydrogen supply and explosion-actuated motion. This module is compatible with a soft or rigid robot and enables the ability to jump over barriers, which is useful in expedition and rescue.
