A silk fibroin-based multi-responsive soft actuator and a manufacturing method therefor are provided. The soft actuator includes a silk fibroin membrane and a flexible substrate, the silk fibroin membrane being arranged on and tightly bonded with the flexible substrate to form a double-layer membrane structure, thermal expansion coefficients of the silk fibroin membrane and the flexible substrate being different. The manufacturing method for a soft actuator includes: performing plasma processing on a flexible substrate; then scrap-coating the flexible substrate with a silk fibroin wet membrane, drying same to obtain a silk fibroin membrane, the silk fibroin membrane together with the flexible substrate forming a double-layer membrane; soaking the double-layer membrane into water, and then drying same; and integrally or locally soaking in a calcium chloride aqueous solution the silk fibroin membrane in the dried double-layer membrane, then taking out same, and drying same to obtain a soft actuator.
A regulation and control method applied to a silk fibroin-based multi-responsive soft actuator, wherein the soft actuator comprises a silk fibroin membrane and a flexible substrate, the silk fibroin membrane is placed on the flexible substrate and tightly bonded thereto to constitute a double-layer membrane structure, and thermal expansion coefficients of the silk fibroin membrane and the flexible substrate are different, and the regulation and control method comprises:
