Abstract Jumping is an important locomotion function to extend navigation range, overcome obstacles, and adapt unstructured environments. In that sense, continuous jumping direction adjustability can be essential properties for terrestrial robots with multimodal locomotion. However, only few soft achieve rapid controlled turning obstacle crossing. Here, we present electrohydrostatically driven tethered legless robot capable of rapid, continuous, steered based on a electrohydrostatic bending...

Ionic thermoelectrics (i-TE) possesses great potential in powering distributed electronics because it can generate thermopower up to tens of millivolts per Kelvin. However, as ions cannot enter external circuit, the utilization i-TE is currently based on capacitive charge/discharge, which results discontinuous working mode and low energy density. Here, we introduce an ion-electron thermoelectric synergistic (IETS) effect by utilizing conductor. Electrons/holes drift under electric field...

Abstract Gallium‐based liquid metal alloys (LMAs) are extensively studied and used recently due to their excellent fluidity, high conductivity, low evaporation pressure. Nonwettable nonsticky marbles (LMMs) also developed address the stickiness issue of oxidized LMAs in air. Current LMMs, however, lack acceptable controllability, shape stability, robustness, greatly limiting practical application. Here, a magnetically controllable marble (MCLMM) that is noncorrosive nonsticky, exhibits good...
