During past few years, applications of untethered magnetically controlled soft robots in the
biomedical operations have been extensively reported, which is attributed to the efficient …

The traditional propeller-based propulsion of underwater robots is inefficient and poorly
adapted to practice. By contrast, underwater biomimetic robots show better stability and …

Walking on water is a unique locomotion mode found in aquatic living creatures. However, it
remains challenging to create light-driven aquatic soft robots that can walk freely on water …

Soft actuators that exhibit large deformation and can move at a fast speed in response to
external stimuli have been in high demand for biomimetic applications. In this paper, we …

Biomimetics is the development of novel theories and technologies by emulating the models
and systems of nature. The transfer of function from biological science into engineering …

The ocean environment has enormous uncertainty due to the influence of complex waves
and undercurrents. The human beings are limited in their abilities to detect and utilize …

We review recent work on active colloids at interfaces, including self-propelled colloids that
move by generating a propulsive force, and driven colloids that move under external fields …

Existing miniature underwater robots, which use electromagnetic actuators or soft actuators,
function in shallow waters. However, in the deep sea, the robots face challenges, such as …

The high-pressure environment of deep-sea challenges the miniaturization of underwater
robots due to the assembly of antihydropressure devices for protecting the electromagnetic …

Bionic robotics and actuators have made dramatic advancements in structural design,
material preparation, and application owing to the richness of nature and innovative material …
