Abstract in brief

  • This text discusses a novel self-oscillating motor called Coordination Motorized Oscillator (CoMO) that uses molecular dynamic bonding to harness ambient energy, such as body heat, for continuous macroscopic motion, inspired by biological systems like Salmonella.
  • It highlights the development of a special supramolecular PDMS material with significantly enhanced thermal inflation properties, enabling the CoMO to convert small energy changes into sustained oscillations and motion.
  • The concept is extended to create robots, called CoMbots, that can move across various terrains using ambient energy, representing a new approach to soft robotics and mechanical energy transduction systems.]
