Soft robotic grippers are fabricated with embedded contact pressure, inflation, and curvature sensors, as reported by Robert J. Wood, Jennifer A. Lewis, and co‐workers in article number 1706383 . The creation of bioinspired soft robots with somatosensory feedback is achieved via embedded 3D printing of an ionically conductive ink within elastomeric matrices. Image credit: R. L. Truby and J.
