Digital Actuation Control of Soft Robotic Origami With Self‐Folding Liquid Crystal Elastomer Hinges
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Self‐folding soft‐rigid hybrid robotic origami is enabled by liquid crystal elastomer actuators with embedded Joule heating and closed‐loop digital control. Digitally addressable hinges provide reversible and programmable transitions between distinct folded states while maintaining actuation performance at high cycle counts (over 1500).

Development of Modular Cable-Driven Parallel Robotic Systems [PDF]
IEEE Access, 2019 Task-oriented modular design and safety monitoring are demonstrated to be outstanding challenges for robots in practical application. In order to obtain better flexibility and better obstacles avoidance capability, design and analysis of a modular cable-driven parallel robot (MCDPR) are presented in this paper, which can be reconfigured to several ...

Planning wrench-feasible motions for cable-driven hexapods [PDF]
, 2016 Motion paths of cable-driven hexapods must carefully be planned to ensure that the lengths and tensions of all cables remain within acceptable limits, for a given wrench applied to the platform. The cables cannot go slack-to keep the control of the robot-

Meta‐Rod Mechanical Metamaterials With Programmable Reconfiguration
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Existing mechanical metamaterials achieve programmable large deformations in planar square or cubic configurations, restricted by required complex boundary conditions. This research proposes a 1D metamaterial, Meta‐rod, with linear, bending, twisting, area, and volume deformation modes.
