Soft robots have demonstrated superior flexibility and functionality thanconventional rigid robots. These versatile devices can respond to a wide rangeof external stimuli (including light, magnetic field, heat, electric field,etc.), and can perform sophisticated tasks. Notably, soft magnetic robotsexhibit unparalleled advantages over numerous soft robots (such as untetheredcontrol, rapid response, and high safety), and have made remarkable progress insmall-scale manipulation tasks and biomedical applications. Despite thepromising potential, soft magnetic robots are still in their infancy andrequire significant advancements in terms of fabrication, design principles,and functional development to be viable for real-world applications. Recentprogress shows that bionics can serve as an effective tool for developing softrobots. In light of this, the review is presented with two main goals: (i)exploring how innovative bioinspired strategies can revolutionize the designand actuation of soft magnetic robots to realize various life-like motions;(ii) examining how these bionic systems could benefit practical applications insmall-scale solid/liquid manipulation and therapeutic/diagnostic-relatedbiomedical fields.
