Overview

Novel liquid crystal elastomer optical fibers enable multifunctional actuation and precise control for robotic applications, highlighting advances in soft robotics and artificial muscles.

Key Points

  • Artificial muscles using liquid crystal elastomer optical fibers demonstrate over 40% contraction strain with minimal interference.
  • The fabricated optical fibers can lift over 4000 times their own weight, showcasing remarkable strength.
  • Bundling multiple fibers allows for complex deformations, including omnidirectional bending and torsion.
  • These advancements present new opportunities for smart actuators in robotics and biomedical devices.
