langeneck@conisma.it 0000-0003-3665-8683 Occurrence data on Polychaeta were extracted from published literature and compiled in a tabular dataset following Darwin Core standards. Date fields were manually cross-validated, taxonomy was verified via the WoRMS Taxon Match Tool, and coordinates were validated through the Marine Regions Gazetteer. Duplicate records were manually removed, and final quality checks were performed using LifeWatch and EMODnet Biology QC tools. Salento Peninsula Litterature data Date fields were manually cross-validated by data stewards. Taxonomic entries were validated using the WoRMS Taxon Match tool, and geographic coordinates were checked against the Marine Regions Gazetteer. Duplicate records were identified and removed manually by data stewards. The dataset underwent comprehensive quality control using the LifeWatch and EMODnet Biology data quality control tool. Scientists have long envisioned more human-like robots able to sense and respond to their environments. Although the term soft robotics emerged fewer than two decades ago, these systems are already finding applications in diverse fields including medicine, space and locomotion. Inspired by marine Annelida (segmented worms) that adapt to their environment with shape changes, the EU-funded MAPWORMS project will develop a new concept for adaptable, responsive and shape-morphing soft robotics. A study of adaptation and plasticity in the body plan of marine Annelida will inform a model for the development of smart soft materials with shape-morphing and self-healing capabilities, based on DNA components. These will form the building blocks of bio-inspired shape-morphing robots.
