What are some examples of bio-inspired materials used in soft robotics, and how do they replicate properties such as flexibility, durability, and self-healing found in natural organisms to create soft actuators, sensors, and structures with biomimetic functionalities for applications in wearable technology, prosthetics, and soft grippers?

Examples include hydrogels, elastomers, and conductive polymers inspired by biological tissues, muscles, and skins. These bio-inspired materials exhibit properties such as high elasticity, low stiffness, and self-healing capabilities, making them suitable for soft robotic applications that require compliant and adaptive structures for human-robot interaction, medical devices, and industrial automation.
