In recent years, there is a meteoric rise in the prevalence of electronic wearables, and flexible wearables have attracted tremendous attention in human–machine interfaces due to their high biocompatibility, functionality, conformability, and low‐cost. Flexible magnetic smart skin is part of this rapidly progressing field of flexible wearable electronics, which has paved the way for a new path for human perceptual development, as they may form a new perception, also known as magnetic sense, that is, the capacity to detect and interact with magnetic fields. In this review, the concept of the magnetic smart skin is defined: magnetoelastomers and flexible magnetic sensors. In magnetoelastomers, different sources of magnetic field, structures, and applications are summarized by recent and renowned research. In flexible magnetic sensors, different flexible substrates, sensor types, and applications are also summarized. This review further concludes by discussing the outlook and current challenges of magnetic smart skin in human–machine interfaces.

Soft robots with magnetic responsiveness exhibit diverse motion modes and programmable shape transformations. While the fixed magnetization configuration facilitates coupling control of robot posture and motion, it limits individual posture control to some extent. This poses a challenge in independently controlling the robot's transformation and motion, restricting its versatile applications. This research introduces a multifunctional helical robot responsive to both light and magnetism, segregating posture control from movements. Light fields assist in robot shaping, achieving a 78% maximum diameter shift. Magnetic fields guide helical robots in multimodal motions, encompassing rotation, flipping, rolling, and spinning-induced propulsion. By controlling multimodal locomotion and shape transformation on demand, helical robots gain enhanced flexibility. This innovation allows them to tightly grip and wirelessly transport designated payloads, showcasing potential applications in drug delivery, soft grippers, and chemical reaction platforms. The unique combination of structural design and control methods holds promise for intelligent robots in the future.
