Soft actuators based on liquid-crystalline elastomers. The pathway to intelligence: using stimuli-responsive materials as building blocks for constructing smart and functional systems. This enables the use of new stimuli, featuring an example of collective motion by photo-actuation. We thus anticipate that the complex synchronization phenomena usually observed in rigid systems can also exist in soft polymeric materials. We qualitatively explain the origin of the synchronized motion using a theoretical model and numerical simulations, which suggest that the motion can be tuned by the mechanical properties of the coupling joint. By observing entrainment between the asymmetric oscillators we demonstrate the existence of coupling between the two actuators. Two liquid crystalline network oscillators fuelled by light influence the movement of one another and display synchronized oscillations in-phase and anti-phase in a steady state. Here we report the synchronized oscillations of thin plastic actuators by an approach reminiscent of the synchronized motion of pendula and metronomes.
In the flourishing field of soft robotics, strategies to embody communication and collective motion are scarce.
