Liquid Crystalline Elastomers in Soft Robotics: Assessing Promise and Limitations
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Liquid crystalline elastomers (LCEs) are programmable soft materials that undergo large, anisotropic deformation in response to external stimuli. Their molecular alignment encodes directional actuation in a monolithic structure, making them long‐standing candidates for soft robotic systems.
