Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 2018 AbstractThis description of “soft robotics” is not intended to be a conventional review, in the sense of a comprehensive technical summary of a developing field. Rather, its objective is to describe soft robotics as anewfield—one that offers opportunities to chemists and materials scientists who like to make “things” and to work with macroscopic ...
