摘要：
与环境的紧密匹配是复杂环境中有效机器人操作的关键。能够现场构建身体的定位机器人（如通过旋转纺制）能够充分利用周围环境，但这些结构的功能化仍面临整合挑战——多材料纺制需要复杂的spinneret多路复用，而混合掺杂受限于添加剂可用性和化学稳定性。本文提出改用环境中可用的材料对现场纺制的网进行功能化，以减少负载并使结构与环境独特匹配。作为演示，通过吡咯蒸汽暴露将光学散射的PVDF纤维网转化为光学吸收的聚吡咯接枝结构。展示了两种激活剂输送策略：液体注入预制成型的网，以及在纺制混合物中预先嵌入激活剂。除了这一概念验证，我们还预见了更广泛的应用，包括利用细菌基因组进行特定生物分子合成的生物混合机器人。
英文摘要：
Tight matching with the environment is key to effective robot operation in complex settings. Situated robots that build their bodies in situ (e.g. by spinning) are uniquely positioned to exploit their surroundings, yet functionalization of these structures remains an integration challenge - multimaterial spinning requires complex spinneret multiplexing, and mixture doping is limited by additive availability and chemical stability. We propose instead using materials available in the environment to functionalize in situ spun webs, reducing payload and uniquely matching the structure to its surroundings. As a demonstration, we transform an optically scattering PVDF fiber web into an optically absorbing, polypyrrole-grafted structure via pyrrole vapour exposure. Two activator-delivery strategies are shown: liquid infusion into a prefabricated web, and activator pre-embedding in the spinning mixture. Beyond this proof-of-concept, we foresee broader applications including biohybrid robots that exploit bacterial genomes for specific biomolecule synthesis in situ.
