Abstract
Description
Technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of soft robots, in particular to a magnetically driven peristaltic soft robot based on magnetically programmed temperature-sensitive hydrogel. Background technique
[0002] After hundreds of millions of years of evolution, low-grade invertebrate molluscs such as worms, earthworms, inchworms, sandworms, etc., which are widely bred in nature, realize peristaltic motion through bending, contraction, and elongation of the body. They have amazing physical intelligence. With the ability to adapt to the environment, the bionic peristaltic soft robot inspired by it shows unparalleled advantages in pipeline inspection, minimally invasive surgery and other fields, especially in narrow environments.
[0003] In recent years, with the continuous progress of materials science, robotics, biomechanics, sensing and control and other disciplines, it has helped the research and development of bionic peristaltic soft robots and achieved revolu...
