Bionics is the inspiration resource of state-of-the-art science and technology. The chameleon can capture prey at great distances with the assistance of its highly stretchable and ballistic tongue. Inspired by this biological structure, here we demonstrate the fabrication of flexible electromagnetic manipulators. The as-prepared flexible electromagnetic manipulator can reach a maximum velocity of 8.1 m s −1 and acceleration of 627 m s −2 at an applied voltage of 360 V. The working mechanism of this flexible electromagnetic manipulator has been studied based on Maxwell and Abaqus simulations. Diverse parameters, including the lengths of the magnetic tube (the cylindrical magnet) and the whole manipulator and the applied voltage values, have been considered to tune the ejecting performance of the manipulator. Furthermore, flexible electromagnetic manipulators can be upgraded to capture various objects by attaching a mechanical force triggered gripper to their t...

灵活的电磁捕捉器，具有受生物弹道舌头启发的快速弹射功能。

仿生学是尖端科学技术的灵感来源。变色龙可以借助其高度可拉伸和弹道的舌头在很远的距离捕捉猎物。受这种生物结构的启发，我们在这里展示了柔性电磁操纵器的制造。所制备的柔性电磁机械手在施加电压为 360 V 时可以达到 8.1 ms -1 的最大速度和 627 ms -2 的加速度。基于 Maxwell 和 Abaqus 仿真研究了这种柔性电磁机械手的工作机制。各种参数，包括磁管（圆柱形磁体）和整个机械手的长度以及施加的电压值，已被考虑调整机械手的弹出性能。此外，
