Abstract

Abstract : Bio‐Inspired Soft‐Rigid Hybrid Smart Artificial Muscle In article number 2206342, Hongmiao Tian and co‐workers propose a soft‐rigid hybrid smart artificial muscle (SRH‐SAM), which ingeniously coordinates the actuation, load‐bearing, and sensory systems. Based on the SRH‐SAM, an advanced approach for a reconfigurable blazed grating plane and a new strategy for controllable attachment/detachment transformation in the field of bionic dry adhesion are completed. This study exhibits a promising prospect for the development of artificial muscles.
