Biocompatible Film‐Coating of Magnetic Soft Robots for Mucoadhesive Locomotion (Adv. Mater. Technol. 12/2023)

Abstract

Magnetic Soft Robots In article number 2201813, Venkatsubramanian Kalpathy Venkiteswaran and co‐workers develop a biocompatible soft polymer film for coating the outer surface of a soft robot which can be controlled using magnetic fields. The Chitosan‐Glycerol film endows the robot with ability of locomotion on confined 3D surfaces through the formation of hydrogen bonds with mucus‐covered biological surfaces.
