A soft robot based on a water-driven hydrogel actuator
Aug 18, 2021 (Nanowerk News) Sea cucumbers have a bumpy and oblong shape. They are soft but stiffen up quickly when touched. They can shrink or stretch to several meters, and their original shape can be recovered even after they die and shrivel up with the regulation of water uptake....
