Modular soft robots have strong adaptability and versatility in various application contexts. However, the introduction of connection mechanisms will always either reduce the structural compliance or need extra actuation appendages, resulting in the complexity of the structure and system of the robot. To address these issues, herein, a compliant and passive connection strategy is demonstrated, which is accomplished utilizing the reclosable fasteners (RFs), and other varieties including hook‐and‐loop fasteners, as the connection mechanisms to the soft modules for the rapid assembly of various soft machines. The module is a pneumatic soft actuator with both ends designed with a multifaceted structure to attach the RFs in different orientations, resulting in various assembling patterns, including linear connection, orthogonal connection, and oblique connection. Moreover, an alignment mechanism is also designed to improve the alignment precision between two assembled modules. The versatility of the RF enables soft modules capable of assembling not only between identical modules but also with diverse additional accessories for various application scenarios. Different functional assemblies are demonstrated including soft grippers, soft walking robots, and shape‐morphing electrical devices. This approach to the connection mechanisms provides routes to new modular soft robots and devices.

Enhancing drug loading efficacy and stability of polymeric micelles remains a grand challenge. Here we develop adamantane-based star copolymers adamantane-[poly(ε-caprolactone)-b-poly(2-(diethylamino)ethyl methacrylate)-b-poly(poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate)]₄ (Ad-(PCL-b-PDEAEMA-b-PPEGMA)₄) and their self-assembled micelles for controlled drug delivery. Results show that the polymers have excellent stability in solution with low critical micelle concentration (CMC) (0.0025–0.0034 mg/mL) and the apparent base dissociation constant (pK_b) of the polymers is from 5.31 to 6.05. Dynamic light scattering analysis exhibits the great environmental response capability of the pH-sensitive micelles according to particle sizes and zeta potentials. With the synergy effect of the adamantane and hydrophobic block, the micelles display the high Doxorubicin (DOX) loading efficacy (up to 22.4%). The DOX release study shows that the micelles are capable of controlled release for drug. This work indicates the Ad-(PCL-b-PDEAEMA-b-PPEGMA)₄ micelles may provide new guidelines for drug control and release system in overcoming cancer treatment.
