E‐CAD: Electroactive Polymer‐Based Cardiac Assist Device with Low Power Consumption

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Conventional cardiac assist devices often require high power, involve direct blood contact, and risk driveline infections. This work presents a soft electroactive polymer‐based system that compresses the heart externally while consuming <0.3 W. With no blood contact, a 0.3 mm driveline, and a compact design, E‐CAD demonstrates enhanced output and ...

4D Printing of Polyethylene Glycol‐Grafted Carbon Nanotube‐Reinforced Polyvinyl Chloride–Polycaprolactone Composites for Enhanced Shape Recovery and Thermomechanical Performance

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study introduces polyethylene glycol‐functionalized carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to enhance dispersion, interfacial bonding, and 4D printability in polyvinyl chloride‐PCL nanocomposites. The optimized 4D composite (0.5 wt% CNT) achieves a 25% increase in tensile strength, 95.78% shape fixity, and 5‐s recovery time.

Parametric Design of Continuum Robots Using Interlocking Ball Joints

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Herein, a parametric design methodology is introduced for producing a wide variety of modular ball joint‐based continuum robots. It is demonstrate by designing a magnetically actuated continuum robot for cardiac ablations. The methodology is released as an open‐source computer‐assisted design extension that automatically designs continuum robots based ...
