3D printing of liquid crystal elastomers-based actuator for an inchworm-inspired crawling soft robot

Liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) have shown great potential as soft actuating materials in soft robots, with large actuation strain and fast response speed. However, to achieve the unique features of actuation, the liquid crystal mesogens should be well aligned and permanently fixed by polymer netwo...
