Abstract
Provided are stimulus-responsive robots, comprising: an extensible actuator, the extensible actuator being configured such that extension and contraction of the extensible actuator effects a translational movement of the robot; and the first control unit being in mechanical communication with the extensible actuator, the first control unit comprising a first material responsive to a first external non-electrical stimulus, the control unit being configured to exert a bending force on the extensible actuator, the bending force being related to a response of the first material to the first external stimulus. Such robots can autonomously move toward and/or away from stimuli. Also provided are related methods.
