Yon Visell and co‐workers describe miniature soft electromagnetic actuators for applications in robotics. The devices, presented in article number 1800244 , are based on fine helical inductors fabricated from silicone polymer colloids, eutectic Gallium Indium alloy, and magnetic (NdFeB) powder. Intrinsically deformable actuators are demonstrated for high frequency motion control, including a tactile display and a miniature soft robotic gripper.
