Smart Skin Cephalopods are often known as masters of camouflage. Inspired by cephalopods, in article number 2105528, Caterina Lamuta, Xuan Song, and co‐workers develop a self‐morphing, stretchable smart skin containing embedded‐printed electrodes and actuated by twisted spiral artificial muscles. The proposed self‐morphing stretchable smart skin can find use in a wide range of applications, such as refreshable Braille displays, haptic feedback devices, turbulence tripping, and anti‐fouling devices for underwater vehicles.
