Abstract

In article number 1901075, Changyong Cao and co-workers invent a novel, smart and soft finger-like actuator capable of fast response, accurate control, and self-powered pressure and bending sensing. The assembled soft smart gripper with the actuators can pick up different kinds of objects, provide sensory feedback, and generate electricity simultaneously, showing great potential for use in robot-human and robot-environment interaction applications.
