Self‐Sensing Artificial‐Muscle‐Empowered Humanlike Perception, Interaction, and Positioning
The proposed self‐sensorized artificial muscle (SSAM) can sense its length change as small as 0.01 mm via a seamlessly integrated multi‐segment induction coil. The SSAM provides accurate length information regardless of its loadings, driving pressure, or muscle design, adequate for robust data‐driven feedback control.

Sensor‐Embedded Muscle for Closed‐Loop Controllable Actuation in Proprioceptive Biohybrid Robots
Skeletal muscle tissue‐based bioactuators move in response to externally applied electrical stimuli in open‐loop control, which lacks knowledge of the actuator's state. Herein, a soft and fiber‐shaped piezoresistive mechanosensor that integrates with the soft tissue and operates in the cell culture environment is used to create the first proprioceptive

Enhanced Actuation Stress in Variable Stiffness Liquid Crystal Elastomers
Liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) filled with low‐melting‐point alloy particles exhibit a fivefold increase in actuation stress and tunable stiffness. At low filler concentrations, mechanically enhanced network entropy boosts force output, while higher concentrations enable variable stiffness. This composite design mimics muscle‐like behavior, advancing

Hygromorphic materials, such as pinecone scales, respond to humidity changes. This study presents poligromorphic composites—composed of carbon fibers (CFs), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), and maleic anhydride ethylene‐propylene (MA‐EPR)—that react to water, humidity, and hydrocarbons.
