Current‐Limiting Control Strategies in Variable Capacitance Electrostatic Energy Harvesters

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This work introduces control strategies for electrostatic energy harvesters that balance energy yield with current limitations. Two approaches are explored: traditional peak‐triggered controls, and newly developed quadrature controls, which use smooth voltage profiles.

A Compact, Self‐Recovering Wire Electrode Electrohydrodynamic Pump for High‐Speed McKibben Artificial Muscle Actuation

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A compact and self‐recovering wire electrode electrohydrodynamic pump achieves high pressure, fast flowrate, and automatic recovery after dielectric discharge breakdowns. The pump delivers twice the power density of previous designs, and when integrated with a McKibben artificial muscle, enables tenfold faster actuation, offering a lightweight, silent,

A Neural Network‐Based Self‐Sensing Embedded Position Control System for Shape Memory Alloy Wire Actuators

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Shape memory alloy wires exhibit thermally induced phase changes that generate actuation strain and resistance variations enabling self‐sensing. However, hysteretic electromechanical behavior complicates accurate state estimation. This paper presents an artificial in‐based self‐sensing method to reconstruct SMA actuator position in real time, achieving

Worm‐Inspired Soft Robots With Modular Outfit‐Changing for Intelligent Multienvironment Adaptation

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study proposes a worm‐inspired soft robot capable of locomotion across multiple environments through a modular “outfit‐changing” strategy. The robot integrates pneumatically actuated peristaltic segments with interchangeable external modules, enabling efficient motion on ground surfaces, within pipelines, through granular media, and underwater ...
