In nature, animals or plants often use soft organs to move and hunt. Research works on bioinspired materials and devices have attracted more and more interest as which show the potential for future intelligent robots. As key components of soft robots, biomimetic soft actuators are adapted to greater requirements for convenient, accurate, and programmable controlling robots. Here, a class of materials and processing routes of ultrathin actuators are reported for bioinspired piecewise controllable soft robots, where the actuators associate with thermal‐responsible soft silicone thin film with thickness as thin as 45 µm and electrically driven by well mechanical designed metallic thin film electrodes. Multiple electrodes in the robots in charge of individual segments control allow the soft robots exhibiting similar functionalities of animals or plants (for example, imitating the tongue of a reptile, such as chameleon to hunt moving preys, and mimicking vines to tightly wind around objects). These bionic results in the soft robots demonstrate their advantages in precise and flexible operation, which provides a good reference for the future research of intelligent soft actuators and robots.

生物启发的超薄分段可控软机器人

在自然界中，动物或植物经常利用软器官来移动和狩猎。关于生物启发性材料和设备的研究工作吸引了越来越多的兴趣，这表明了未来智能机器人的潜力。作为软机器人的关键组件，仿生软致动器适合于对方便，准确和可编程的控制机器人的更高要求。在此，针对生物启发的分段可控软机器人，报告了一类超薄致动器的材料和加工路线，其中致动器与厚度为45 µm的热敏性软硅树脂薄膜相关联，并由机械设计精良的金属薄膜电驱动电极。机器人中的多个电极负责各个部分的控制，这些软机器人可以表现出类似动物或植物的功能（例如，模仿爬行动物的舌头，如变色龙以猎捕移动的猎物，并模仿藤蔓紧密缠绕物体）。软机器人的这些仿生结果证明了它们在精确和灵活操作中的优势，这为智能软执行器和机器人的未来研究提供了很好的参考。
