Reconfigurable Transparent Variable‐Stiffness Soft Robot for Underwater Operations

摘要

Soft Underwater Robots Soft robots hold great significance for underwater operations due to their exceptional compliance and adaptability. In article number 2300688, Qin Fang, Zhefeng Gong, Haojian Lu, and co-workers introduce a transparent reconfigurable soft underwater robot with variable stiffness capability. The cover image shows a soft gripper for delicate underwater grasping and a soft manipulator for exploration in confined underwater environments, highlighting the robot’s potential for future underwater applications.
