Abstract

Magnetic soft robots have shown great potential for biomedical applications due to their high shape reconfigurability, motion agility, and multi-functionality in physiological environments. Magnetic soft robots with multi-layer structures can enhance the loading capacity and function complexity for targeted delivery. However, the interactions between soft entities have yet to be fully investigated, and thus the assembly of magnetic soft robots with on-demand motion modes from multiple film-like layers is still challenging. Herein, we model and tailor the magnetic interaction between soft film-like layers with distinct in-plane structures, and then realize multi-layer soft robots that are capable of performing…
