Asymmetric elastoplasticity of stacked graphene assembly actualizes programmable untethered soft robotics

Developing programmable untethered soft robotics remains a challenge. Here the authors apply the asymmetric elastoplasticity of stacked graphene assembly to address this challenge and realize untethered thermoresponsive morphing in tandem with high configurational programmability.
