A soft crawling entity was fabricated using an LM-LCE as the active actuator with a thin layer of Sylgard 184 silicone adhered to the LM-LCE to force bending actuation. The crawler propels forward due to asymmetric friction. A multifunctional shape-morphing elastomer with liquid metal inclusions Michael J. Ford, Cedric P. Ambulo, Teresa A. Kent, Eric J.
