“…Thus, using advanced materials and technologies for mimicking plants is highly desirable. To deal with these issues, we believe that, on the one hand by searching literature, one can find many soft, stretchable, mechano‐responsive, biocompatible, and electro‐ or photoactive materials that can be used as mechanosensing platforms. On the other hand, the miniaturization technologies have also been developing quickly from soft materials …”

Mechanosensing in plants affords sensing a wide variety of mechanical stimuli (e.g., gravity, touch, wind, or turgor pressure); therefore, it helps some of them to sense, trap, and devour nutritious animals and/or track water. A glimpse on how learning from the plants' mechanosensing could be beneficial for real‐world applications in the 21st century is provided herein, starting with an overview of the molecular mechanism behind the mechanotransduction; viz., the change of Ca2+ concentration across the membrane of mechanosensory cells. Details on the mechanosensory organs that characterize the vascular plants are then presented. How scientists apply the current knowledge to plant‐mimetic mechanosensors via advanced materials and technologies is also discussed, ending with a supplementing perspective on the future of plant‐inspired mechanosensing research.

“…Pneumatic or hydraulic actuators created out of soft elastomeric silicone materials have become ubiquitous in the soft robotics community (Hughes et al, 2016;Lee et al, 2017). These actuators are made by casting the elastomer to create channels that, when inflated, cause the body to bend (or twist) in a manner dependent on the channel design.…”

Advances in soft robotics will be crucial to the next generation of robot-human interfaces. Soft material systems embed safety at the material level, providing additional safeguards that will expedite their placement alongside humans and other biological systems. However, in order to function in unpredictable, uncontrolled environments alongside biological systems, soft robotic systems should be as robust in their ability to recover from damage as their biological counterparts. There exists a great deal of work on self-healing materials, particularly polymeric and elastomeric materials that can self-heal through a wide variety of tools and techniques. Fortunately, most emerging soft robotic systems are constructed from polymeric or elastomeric materials, so this work can be of immediate benefit to the soft robotics community. Though the field of soft robotics is still nascent as a whole, self-healing and damage resilient systems are beginning to be incorporated into three key support pillars that are enabling the future of soft robotics: actuators, structures, and sensors. This article reviews the state-of-the-art in damage resilience and self-healing materials and devices as applied to these three pillars. This review also discusses future applications for soft robots that incorporate self-healing capabilities.

“…Wir werden es hier nicht weiter erörtern. Die Soft‐Robotik ist ausreichend schnell gewachsen, dass sie in vielen ausgezeichneten, auf die Technologie fokussierten Übersichtsartikeln beschrieben wurde . Anstatt zu versuchen, diese zu reproduzieren oder zusammenzufassen, listen wir sie einfach auf.…”

Diese Beschreibung des Feldes “Soft‐Robotik” soll kein normaler Übersichtsartikel im Sinne einer umfangreichen technischen Zusammenfassung eines sich entwickelnden Feldes sein. Stattdessen ist das Ziel, die Soft‐Robotik als neues Feld zu beschreiben – eines, das Gelegenheiten für Chemiker und Materialwissenschaftler bietet, die es mögen “Dinge” zu bauen und mit makroskopischen Objekten zu arbeiten, die sich bewegen und Kräfte ausüben. Er wird eine (persönliche) Sicht darauf bieten, was Soft‐Aktuatoren und ‐Roboter sind und wie diese Klasse von Soft‐Geräten in das höher entwickelte Feld der konventionellen “Hart”‐Roboter passt. Er wird auch ansprechen wie und warum Soft‐Robotik mehr als nur ein kleiner technischer “Kniff” der Hart‐Robotik ist und eine einzigartige Rolle für die Chemie und die Materialwissenschaften in diesem Feld vorschlagen. In ihrem Kern ist die Soft‐Robotik geistig und technologisch anders als Hart‐Robotik, sowohl weil sie andere Zielsetzungen und Verwendungszwecke hat, als auch weil sie darauf beruht, dass Materialeigenschaften viele Rollen übernehmen, die in der Hart‐Robotik Sensoren, Aktuatoren und Regler einnehmen.
