a The basic concept of bio-inspired TGoF system and the sensing/actuation structures. The insets are microscopic and SEM images of the microstructures. b Sensing principle of the wave spring-based F-P fiber sensor. c Driving principle of the pH-responsive smart gripper. d Schematic of the on-tip TPP fabrication process.
