摘要

In article number 1802739, Tommaso Ranzani and co-workers introduce a manufacturing method that combines multilayer soft lithography, precision laser micromachining, and injection-induced self-folding to establish a new paradigm for creating 3D soft microstructures and devices. To demonstrate the potential of this process, they present a 12-layer soft robotic peacock spider with embedded microfluidic circuitry and actuatable features. Image credit: Second Bay Studios.
