Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Here, we present a textile, wearable capacitive interface enabling multidirectional remote control by dynamically modulating electrode overlap and spacing via a freely gliding upper electrode. A forearm‐mounted prototype drives robotic and media tasks with 12–15 ms latency, maintains < 0.8% drift after 500 cycles, and remains stably functional at 90 ...

Cable-driven parallel robots for human interaction: Approaches and applications
Current Directions in Biomedical EngineeringCable-Driven Parallel Robots (CDPR) have gained increasing attention in human-machine-interaction, particularly in haptics and rehabilitation. Despite their different objectives, both fields share fundamental requirements such as safety, configurability ...

A Soft Robotic Fish With a Dielectric Elastomer Actuator Body and Negative Stiffness Spine
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This work introduces a bio‐mimetic soft robotic fish driven by fiber‐reinforced dielectric elastomer actuators integrated as its body. By prestretching this active skin against a flexible spine, a negative stiffness system is created, enabling large‐amplitude bending.

3D‐Printing Aided Rapid Prototyping of Pretensioned Tensegrity Structures for Robotic Applications
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Printing, injection molding, and assembly (PMA) is a method for rapid prototyping mesoscale, topologically complex, and tensioned tensegrity structures. In combination with PMA method, two mold design strategies: modular mold and compact channel layout, enable efficiency and scalability for tensegrity fabrication.

Optimal Trajectory Planning of a Cable-Driven Parallel Robot by Direct Collocation Approaches
International Journal of Advanced Design and Manufacturing TechnologyTrajectory planning in cable-driven robots is more challenging than rigid-link ones. To maintain the robot control, the cable tensions must be positive during motion.

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This work reports on the actuation behavior of CP‐based polypyrrole/PVdF TYs soaked in electrolyte/ionic liquids and woven actuators where such TYs are integrated. These studies are important toward the creation of on‐body applications such as wearable soft robotics, where textiles offer many advantages such as increased force, integrated electrical ...
