a Schematic and photograph of the electrically controlled adhesion-feedback dual-function smart capture patch. b Working mechanism of the smart patch. c Infrared thermal images of the patch under varying applied voltages. d Real-time temperature and impedance (1 kHz) of the smart capture patch at an operating voltage of 0.75 V. The green shaded area in the figure represents the time when the voltage is applied. e Relationship between operating voltage, equilibrium temperature, and impedance. f Transient temperature and impedance response under pulsed voltage stimulation (0.75 V, 20 s interval). g Sequential snapshots of the smart patch picking up and releasing a small glass bottle. Impedance signals generated by smart patches during the lifting/release of small glass bottles in modes (h) without and (i) with feedback adjustment.
