a Photograph of a robotic arm wearing multifunctional TE textiles for temperature perception (hand), phototaxis (wrist), and energy harvesting (arm). b Photo of temperature perception of the finger touching a hot/cold metal rod. c TE signals of the five fingers when the hand separately contacts with a hot and cold object. d Energy harvesting of a TE cloth worn on the arm at different states. e Signals of the phototaxis wrist band when irradiated with light beam at different orientations. f Photos for arm rotated to track the light beam. g Enlarged photo (upper) and IR image (lower) of TE node when irradiated by a light beam.
