A Self‐Healing Magnetoelectric Sensor with Pain Sensing for Underwater Soft Electronics
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This study introduces a self‐healing magnetoelectric sensory system designed for amphibious soft electronics. By utilizing liquid‐metal conductors and self‐healing elastomers, the system enables autonomous recovery from mechanical damage. Its multilayered architecture features dual self‐powered proximity and tactile sensing alongside pain sensing in ...

Soft Robotic Snake with Tunable Undulatory Gait for Efficient Underwater Locomotion
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This study designs an underwater soft snake robot using 3D‐printed soft actuators, controlled by specific signals to generate sinusoidal undulation. Results show a positive correlation between speed and swing amplitude, with optimal performance at 2/3π phase offset, PLA tail, 1.2 voltage growth rate, and 6s undulation period achieving a maximum speed ...
