Eduardo Sergio Oliveros Mata, Rui Xu, Lin Guo, Denys Makarov
Abstract
The integration of magnetic soft actuators and printed magnetic field sensors presents a compelling strategy for advancing soft robotics, with transformative implications for interactivity. This Perspective discusses the synergy between these technologies, which combined will provide mechanically conformal feedback systems to tracking complex dynamics at high speeds and increase environmental compatibility. These insights are meant to guide the field toward a future where multifunctional magnetic composites with printable, transparent, healable, and biocompatible properties operate seamlessly in parallel, reshaping the possibilities of soft robotics.
