Bio‐Inspired Artificial Ionic Mechanoreceptor

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A skin‐inspired artificial mechanoreceptor based on ionic interactions is presented for biomimetic tactile sensing. Pressure‐driven ionic redistribution within microfluidic channels generates a self‐powered electrical signal without external bias. The generated waveform exhibits mechanoreceptor‐like temporal features, including overshoot and undershoot,

Simulation and Control with XDE and Matlab/Simulink of a Cable-Driven Parallel Robot (CoGiRo)

open access: yes, 2014
International audienceWe present in this paper the process allowing to create a cable-driven parallel robot (CDPR) simulation within the XDE software environment in C++ language. The elementary classes constituting a CDPR are shown with their constructor

High‐Speed Photoresponse of CVD‐Grown Lateral TMD Heterostructures

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Internal electric fields generated by p‐n junctions and asymmetric Schottky barriers enhance the photoresponse speed in CVD‐grown monolayer TMD lateral heterostructures. This results in a 1.5‐2 orders of magnitude reduction in rise and fall times for optimized device configurations compared to homogeneous single‐material devices, enabling bandwidths ...

First Experimental Testing of a Dynamic Minimum Tension Control (DMTC) for Cable Driven Parallel RobotsCable-Driven Parallel Robots

open access: yes, 2014
Cable tension distribution is an important issue in parallel cable-driven robots to obtain high efficiency and accuracy of motion. In this paper, a novel approach is introduced to optimize cable tension distribution of cable-driven parallel robots, which

Kinetics‐Controlled Architecture of Binder‐Free Organic Electrodes for Enhanced Ion Transport

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Pulse reverse electrodeposition controls nucleation and growth to create hierarchically porous Py‐derived oligomeric electrodes with enhanced ionic accessibility and reduced transport resistance. The resulting binder‐free architectures translate these transport advantages into practical sodium‐storage functionality.

Programmable Soft Actuator with Multi‐Responsiveness Based on Conductive MOF‐Liquid Crystal Polymer Composite

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A sequential dual‐alignment strategy independently programs the orientation of conductive metal‐organic framework (c‐MOF) microrods and liquid crystals within a composite film. This approach creates an asymmetric bilayer structure that enables precise, multi‐responsive actuation.

A Planar Spring-Loaded Cable-Loop-Driven Parallel Mechanism

open access: yes, 2010
A novel architecture of planar spring-loaded cable-loop-driven parallel mechanism is introduced in this paper. By attaching springs to the cable loops, two degrees of freedom can be controlled using only two actuators.

Multistage, Self‐Sensing Artificial Muscles With Coordination From Liquid Crystal Elastomer‐Graphene Composite Fibers

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Inspired by skeletal muscles’ precision and endurance, CoilLCE integrates a self‐sensing liquid crystal elastomer/graphene artificial muscle with an embedded Joule‐heating copper coil, enabling closed‐loop multistage actuation with programmable intermediate states (strain accuracy of 2%), and antagonistic coordination (32% total strain). These features
