Abstract

The advancement of technology has had a life-changing impact on society, and it is now smarting all aspects of existence. With rising energy needs, benefactions to global warming, harmful gas emissions, and contamination from manufacturing to incorrect waste scrapping, the aforementioned advancements frequently come at a cost to our ecosystem. Getting rid of these negative consequences is one of society’s key issues. Soft, biologically inspired automation and robots are now gaining traction, and they have the potential to become not only as good as their natural counterparts in terms of execution and capacity but also relation to environmental impact. This criticism examines the emergence of imperishable materials in bioinspired robotics, focusing on actuators, energy storage, and electronics. In the subject of robotics, soft robotics is a novel technique. Soft robots are made of natural polymers known for their flexibility and durability, allowing for new and innovative implementations. Soft robotics is now at the forefront of its field. Soft robotics’ progress in waste management might point the way to a more sustainable future.
