Abstract
A hierarchically reversible crosslinked hydrogel has been designed with excellent mechanical properties, efficient self-healability and double-driven shape memory effect (pH, Ca<sup>2+</sup>). A soft catcher actuator was constructed, which could catch a plastic fish in Ca<sup>2+</sup> solution.
