Bronchoscopy Robot with Enhanced Flexibility and Stability via Multi‐Segment Variable Stiffness Catheter

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This work presents a magnetic bronchoscopy robot with a novel multi‐segment variable stiffness catheter. This catheter can not only move flexibly in the narrow bronchi but also harden according to the need to provide support. Combined with remote wireless magnetic field drive, it provides a more precise and effective solution for biopsy of deep lung ...

Toward Fully Soft and Multifunctional Shape Sensing via Optical Waveguide Arrays

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This work develops a sheet made with arrays of soft optical fibers that can reconstruct its 3D surface shape. Synergy of the waveguides’ responses to bending and pressing force allows shape reconstruction with resilience to damage. Applied onto surfaces of robotic or living systems, our design can be implemented in virtual reality, teleoperation ...

Characterization and Selection of Contractile Actuators for Soft Robotics Operating in the Quasistatic Regime

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
We developed methods to characterize soft contractile actuators using force–displacement measurements in the passive state and the total force in the active state and define the operational range of thermal, electrothermal, and pneumatic muscles. A graphical method enables the selection of an actuator based on the required mechanical force–displacement

Navigating Whiteness in Australia's Anti‐Racism Movement: A Duoethnographic Inquiry by Women of Colour Scholars

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper applies Critical Race Theory (CRT) to explore how whiteness operates within Australia's anti‐racism movement as a structuring force that shapes discourse, practice and policy. Despite the anti‐racism movement offering crucial spaces for resistance and reform, it remains entangled in Australia's settler‐colonial present and systemic ...
