“…A typical actuator, also known as artificial muscle, is the work horse of soft robots. [ 34 ] It typically needs external stimuli, such as water, [ 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 ] pH, [ 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 ] heat, [ 47 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 ] light, [ 58 , 59 , 60 , 61 , 62 , 63 , 64 , 65 ] electricity, [ 53 , 66 , 67 , 68 , 69 , 70 , 71 ] and magnetic field to perform. [ 27 , 72 , 73 , 74 , 75 ] In recent years, soft actuators can be classified based on materials as elastomeric pneumatic actuator (PA), hydrogel actuator (HA), bio‐hybrid actuator (BHA), actuators made of DE, twisted and coiled yarns (TCY), SMA, liquid crystal elastomers (LCE), and ionic polymer‐metal composites (IPMC).…”
