5th Anniversary Article: A Lesson from Plants: High‐Speed Soft Robotic Actuators (Adv. Sci. 5/2020)

Explosion of ping‐pong balls that is caused by the rapid inflation of an elastomer membrane. The illustrated ultrafast actuation is based on a plant‐inspired mechanical instability that occurs in natural rubber and can be remotely triggered, presented in article number https://doi.org/10.1002/advs.2...

Sumario:Explosion of ping‐pong balls that is caused by the rapid inflation of an elastomer membrane. The illustrated ultrafast actuation is based on a plant‐inspired mechanical instability that occurs in natural rubber and can be remotely triggered, presented in article number https://doi.org/10.1002/advs.201903391 by Martin Kaltenbrunner and co‐workers. These new types of high‐speed soft actuators have potential applications in object sorting or grasping. [Image: see text]
