Biohybrid Tendons Enhance the Power‐to‐Weight Ratio and Modularity of Muscle‐Powered Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Biohybrid robots powered by skeletal muscle actuators are capable of dynamically adapting to environmental cues. This study takes inspiration from native muscle–tendon architecture by leveraging tough hydrogels as synthetic tendons for muscle actuators to enhance the power‐to‐weight ratio and modularity of biohybrid machines.

Dual‐Chamber One‐Step Molding Actuator with Straight‐Curved Crease Prismatic Design for Large‐Range Motions and Structural Stability

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A dual‐chamber origami prismatic actuator is designed by integrating straight‐curved creases with folded partitions, enabling large‐range, multidirectional motions and enhanced structural stability. The actuator exhibits anisotropic stiffness and multiple actuation modes, and is fabricated via single‐material, one‐step molding.
