Abstract Inspired by natural organisms, soft actuators can convert environmental stimuli into mechanical deformation, making them indispensable for applications in a variety of fields such as robotics. MXene, displaying exceptional attributes conductivity, thermal efficiency, good dispersibility etc., has emerged preferred material high‐performance actuators. However, single struggle to achieve complex tasks realized intelligent robotic systems. Herein, bioinspired dynamic matrix is presented utilizing the developable structure MXene‐cellulose nanofibers (CNF) The inclusion CNF considerably bolsters properties MXene. MXene‐CNF film possessed higher working strain range (≈14%) than pure MXene (≈2%). designed structures complete actuating movements. sensing layer integration with led an extremely low touch detection limit (0.3 kPa) and expedited actuating‐feedback due interaction between contact charging electrostatic induction. A responsive containing 3 × actuators, completed close‐looped sensing‐feedback function, developed similar behavior mimosa plant. This mimosa‐inspired capable identifying source providing immediate feedback. research broadens potential enhancing adaptability intelligence system.
