Amphibious Generator via Mechanical Coupling for Versatile Energy Harvesting

open access: yesAdvanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.
An amphibious hybrid triboelectric nanogenerator–electromagnetic generator (TENG–EMG) efficiently harvests energy from wind and water. By integrating TENG and EMG units with a gear‐assisted mechanism, it enhances power output and powers small electronic devices.

Machine‐Learning‐Based, Feature‐Rich Prediction of Alumina Microstructure from Hardness

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
Herein, high‐performance generative adversarial network (GAN), named ‘Microstructure‐GAN’, is demonstrated. After training, the high‐fidelity, feature‐rich micrographs can be predicted for an arbitrary target hardness. Microstructure details such as small pores and grain boundaries can be observed at the nanometer scale in the predicted 1000 ...

Autonomous Intuition for Advanced Manufacturing Systems: Benefits and Tradeoffs of Presampling for Autonomous Parameterization

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
Sampling a design space to target a class of possible desirable outcomes, creating an artificial intuition, can accelerate future optimizations to those targets. This is tested experimentally with parameterization to achieve various geometries of freestanding structures using direct ink write (DIW) 3D printing.

Rapid and Reversible Morphing to Enable Multifunctionality in Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This article introduces a rapid, reversible, and repeatable morphing robot through a bistable latch‐mediated, spring actuated (LaMSA) mechanism. This enables an untethered, multifunctional robot to near‐instantaneously (< 50 ms) and reversibly switch between a flying and driving configuration to navigate through different environments.

Multifunctional Position and Stiffness Control of Soft Fluidic Actuators Using Supercooled Liquid

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This work explores the use of supercooled liquid as a multifunctional working fluid for soft actuators to allow independent control of position and stiffness; the solution is used to both inflate the elastomer chambers while in liquid state and to achieve a dramatic increase in stiffness (up to 13 times) with rapid, reversible crystallization.
