Reconfigurable Innervation of Modular Soft Machines via Soft, Sticky, and Instant Electronic Adhesive Interlocking
2023
Overview
Adaptive and extreme changes in shape and configuration are the functional and morphological uniqueness of soft robots, but existing design approaches still rely on the predefined coordination of their “muscle” and “nerve” functions to produce such behaviors. Herein, a strategy is introduced for building modular soft machines that can be innervated in ways that conform to their body extension or shape changes, based on modular soft electronics. The development of soft electronic adhesive interlocking (SEAL) technology allows for instant, robust, and repeatable integration of soft electronic modules that can “innervate” and activate modular soft actuators and machines in a reconfigurable manner. Demonstrations of soft robotic tentacles and their grasping capability show that the robot function can be adapted to or reconfigured within the body with a length extended more than 10 times. The modular strategy presented herein can offer a unique promise to build up future robots with dynamic, reconfigurable functions. Soft electronic adhesive interlocking facilitates reconfigurable electronic innervation of modular soft machines by providing robust Van der Waals adhesion, mechanical interlocking, and high conductivity. This mechanism allows instant, repeatable integration of soft electronic modules demonstrated through modularized soft robots that adaptively and selectively innervate electronic modules for effective body shape changes.
