    • C. elegans-inspired undulatory motion in a light-driven liquid crystal elastomer fiber 

      Nemati, Yasaman; Cheng, Ming; Deng, Zixuan; Liu, Yanjun; Priimagi, Arri; Zeng, Hao (20.02.2026)
      article
      Undulatory movement is widely observed in the animal kingdom, from snakes and earthworms to microorganisms. Mimicking such deformation is important in soft robotics in terms of locomotion control and navigation efficiency. ...

    • Feedback regulated opto-mechanical soft robotic actuators 

      Yang, Jianfeng; Pi, Haotian; Deng, Zixuan; Guo, Hongshuang; Shou, Wan; Zhang, Hang; Zeng, Hao (16.07.2025)
      article
      Natural organisms use sensory feedback to adaptively regulate their behavior, but replicating such feedback mechanisms in synthetic materials remains a major challenge. It is believed that achieving complex feedback ...

    • Light-driven peristaltic pumping by an actuating splay-bend strip 

      Dradrach, Klaudia; Zmyślony, Michał; Deng, Zixuan; Priimagi, Arri; Biggins, John; Wasylczyk, Piotr (04 / 2023)
      article
      Despite spectacular progress in microfluidics, small-scale liquid manipulation, with few exceptions, is still driven by external pumps and controlled by large-scale valves, increasing cost and size and limiting complexity. ...

    • A light-fueled self-oscillator that senses force 

      Deng, Zixuan; Priimagi, Arri; Li, Kai; Zeng, Hao (12 / 2025)
      article
      Light-responsive materials with intrinsic negative feedback enable self-oscillation in non-equilibrium states. Conventional systems rely on self-shadowing in bending modes but fail when shadowing is constrained. Here, we ...

    • Light-steerable locomotion using zero-elastic-energy modes 

      Deng, Zixuan; Li, Kai; Priimagi, Arri; Zeng, Hao (2024)
      article
      Driving synthetic materials out of equilibrium via dissipative mechanisms paves the way towards autonomous, self-sustained robotic motions. However, obtaining agile movement in diverse environments with dynamic steerability ...

    • Light‐fueled Non‐reciprocal Self‐oscillators for Fluidic Transportation and Coupling 

      Deng, Zixuan; Zhang, Hang; Priimägi, Arri; Zeng, Hao (21.03.2022)
      article
      Light-fueled self-oscillators based on soft actuating materials have triggered novel designs for small-scale robotic constructs that self-sustain their motion at non-equilibrium states and possess bioinspired autonomy and ...

    • Liquid Crystal Networks Meet Water: It's Complicated! 

      Pinchin, Natalie P.; Guo, Hongshuang; Meteling, Henning; Deng, Zixuan; Priimagi, Arri; Shahsavan, Hamed (2023)
      reviewarticle
      Soft robots are composed of compliant materials that facilitate high degrees of freedom, shape-change adaptability, and safer interaction with humans. An attractive choice of material for soft robotics is crosslinked ...

    • Semi-Crystalline Rubber as a Light-Responsive, Programmable, Resilient Robotic Material 

      Yang, Qi; Shahsavan, Hamed; Deng, Zixuan; Guo, Hongshuang; Zhang, Hang; Liu, Heng; Zhang, Chunyu; Priimagi, Arri; Zhang, Xuequan; Zeng, Hao (10.10.2022)
      article
      Polymers with large and reversible light-induced deformation offer a plethora of opportunities for the wireless control of small-scale soft robots. However, their widespread adoption in real-world applications is hindered, ...
