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

Examples include hydrogels, elastomers, and conductive polymers inspired by biological tissues, muscles, or 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 interaction with humans, environmental sensing, or delicate object manipulation.
