Area of Science:

  • Soft robotics
  • Stimuli-responsive materials
  • Biomimetic locomotion

Background:

  • Untethered soft robots offer significant application potential.
  • Achieving fast, periodic locomotion in constant environments remains challenging.
  • Stimuli-responsive materials are key to autonomous robotic actuation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a soft robot capable of autonomous, rapid locomotion.
  • To investigate humidity-driven actuation in a double-helical soft robot.
  • To establish a theoretical model for predicting robot performance.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of a double-helical robot using humidity-sensitive agarose (AG) films.
  • Utilizing differential bending of helical segments for actuation.
  • Development of a theoretical model to analyze robot deformation and speed.
  • Experimental validation of rolling speed, payload capacity, and environmental sensing.

Main Results:

  • The Dualicalbot demonstrates rapid rolling locomotion in a constant humid environment.
  • A maximum rolling speed of 5.8 BL s⁻¹ was achieved.
  • The robot successfully carried a payload equal to its self-weight.
  • The Dualicalbot exhibited capability for acid environment detection.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed Dualicalbot design enables efficient, humidity-driven locomotion.
  • The theoretical model provides insights into soft robot design and performance optimization.
  • This work paves the way for advanced, multi-functional soft robotic systems.
