Stimuli-responsive shape-morphing soft actuators: metrics, materials, mechanism, design and applications

The rapid development of flexible wearable devices and the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in robotics have driven the evolution of soft actuators, positioning soft shape-morphing actuators at the forefront of cutting-edge research in soft robotics, intelligent devices, and bio-inspired engineering. Stimuli-responsive soft actuators are intelligent devices constructed from flexible materials capable of precise and controllable deformation in response to external stimuli, attracting growing scientific and technological interest. This review systematically delineates and evaluates critical performance metrics essential for evaluating actuator functionality. It offers a comprehensive analysis of the predominant stimuli-responsive actuating materials, elucidating their actuation mechanisms while critically examining their inherent advantages, limitations, and emerging research trajectories. Fundamental design principles are meticulously articulated to guide the development of next-generation shape-morphing actuators. Furthermore, this review extensively surveys diverse practical applications, underscoring the versatility and broad technological impact of stimuli-responsive soft actuators across multiple domains. Finally, key challenges in the current state-of-the-art and prospective research pathways are thoroughly discussed, aiming to foster the development and widespread adoption of soft actuators in both academic research and industrial applications.

期刊介绍： Progress in Materials Science is a journal that publishes authoritative and critical reviews of recent advances in the science of materials. The focus of the journal is on the fundamental aspects of materials science, particularly those concerning microstructure and nanostructure and their relationship to properties. Emphasis is also placed on the thermodynamics, kinetics, mechanisms, and modeling of processes within materials, as well as the understanding of material properties in engineering and other applications. The journal welcomes reviews from authors who are active leaders in the field of materials science and have a strong scientific track record. Materials of interest include metallic, ceramic, polymeric, biological, medical, and composite materials in all forms. Manuscripts submitted to Progress in Materials Science are generally longer than those found in other research journals. While the focus is on invited reviews, interested authors may submit a proposal for consideration. Non-invited manuscripts are required to be preceded by the submission of a proposal. Authors publishing in Progress in Materials Science have the option to publish their research via subscription or open access. Open access publication requires the author or research funder to meet a publication fee (APC). Abstracting and indexing services for Progress in Materials Science include Current Contents, Science Citation Index Expanded, Materials Science Citation Index, Chemical Abstracts, Engineering Index, INSPEC, and Scopus.
