We develop soft robots with biomimetic soft active materials inspired by original biomechanical discovery. Morphing structures such as fins and tails allow for shape changes on the body, thus enabling unparalleled multi-modal locomotion. Soft functional materials are now required to emulate and decipher the general principles of natural motion systems.
