摘要
Intelligent machines are capable of switching shape configurations to adapt to changes in dynamic environments and thus have offered the potentials in many applications such as precision medicine,lab on a chip,and bioengineering.Even though the developments of smart materials and advanced micro/nanomanufacturing are flouring,how to achieve intelligent shapemorphing machines at micro/nanoscales is still significantly challenging due to the lack of design methods and strategies especially for small-scale shape transformations.This review is aimed at summarizing the principles and methods for the construction of intelligent shape-morphing micromachines by introducing the dimensions,modes,realization methods,and applications of shape-morphing micromachines.Meanwhile,this review highlights the advantages and challenges in shape transformations by comparing micromachines with the macroscale counterparts and presents the future outlines for the next generation of intelligent shape-morphing micromachines.
