Scientists are reinventing how soft robots move — no hard motors, no bulky batteries, just electric and magnetic fields in action.
From a transparent robotic fish powered by dielectric elastomers at Zhejiang University (China) to magnetic polymer muscles developed at North Carolina State University (USA), these breakthroughs are shaping the future of bio-inspired robotics.

The fish robot swims efficiently like a trout, powered by electric fields, while the magnetic actuators can lift 50× their own weight — both representing the next generation of soft, flexible, and intelligent machines.

This research opens doors for future medical, underwater, and micro-robotic applications, showing how nature continues to inspire engineering marvels.
