Abstract

Abstract Soft actuators with accurate and real-time motion perception are of great importance for flexible machines and artificial intelligence robotics to enable an autonomic response to surroundings. To enhance the sensing-signal reliability and calibration, synchronous motion perception with multiplex feedback signals is desired but has not been sufficiently explored. Herein, we present a soft bimorph actuator that has electrical and visual dual channel signal feedback functions for real-time multiplex motion perception. Cellulose paper and polyimide tape were assembled together as bimorph actuation layers on which an MXene/graphene bilayer was coated for electrothermal function and electrical signal feedback and a thermochromic interlayer was used for real-time visual signal feedback. Based on the proposed actuators, three kinds of bionic robotics and an electro-puppetry robot, “Wu Song Fights the Tiger”, with motion-programmable features are demonstrated, revealing the broad application prospects of the present soft actuators in bionic soft robotics with real-time multiplexing motion perception.
