Soft robotic system, a new era of material science, is rapidly developing with advanced processing technology in soft matters, featured with biomimetic nature. An important bottom-up approach is through the implementation of molecular machines into polymeric materials, however, the synchronized molecular motions, acumination of strain across multiple length-scales, and amplification into macroscopic actuations remained highly challenging. This review presents the significances, key design strategies, and outlook of the hierarchical supramolecular systems of molecular machines to develop novel types of supramolecular-based soft robotic systems.
软机器人系统作为材料科学的一个新时代，正借助软物质领域的先进加工技术迅速发展，具有仿生特性。一种重要的自下而上的方法是将分子机器应用于聚合材料中，然而，分子运动的同步性、跨多个长度尺度的应变累积以及放大为宏观驱动仍然极具挑战性。本文综述了分子机器的分级超分子系统对于开发新型超分子基软机器人系统的意义、关键设计策略及前景。
