Abstract

Transient robots are robots designed to be non-long-lasting and degradable over time. This design philosophy is ideal for a wide range of applications, from environmental monitors to implantable systems. In this commentary, we explore the concept of transient robotics, identifying and discussing challenges and opportunities in transient robot design, materials, fabrication, and applications across smart food, healthcare, environmental protection, and disaster rescue.
