Abstract Biological organisms often possess remarkable multifunctionality through intricate structures, such as the concurrent shape-morphing and stiffness-variation in octopus. Soft robots, which are inspired by natural creatures, usually require the integration of separate modules to achieve these various functions. As a result, the whole structure is cumbersome and the control system is complex, often involving multiple control loops to finish the required task. Here, inspired by the scaly creatures in nature such as pangolins and fish, we develop a robotic structure that can vary stiffness and change shape simultaneously in a highly-integrated compact body. The scale-inspired… More >
