Modular Stimuli‐Responsive Valves for Pneumatic Soft Robots
Modular stimuli‐responsive valves, based on responsive materials (i.e., liquid crystal elastomers and hydrogels) and mechanical mechanisms, can autonomously regulate airflow in the presence of multiple environmental stimuli, such as light and water.

Multistable Physical Neural Networks
This article presents the integration of mechanical bistability into physical neural networks (PNNs), enabling memory retention and bridging computation with physical action. By mapping the equilibrium states of bistable, liquid‐filled chambers, it explores stability and introduces global and local training algorithms.

Real‐Time Motion Generation for Robot Manipulators in Complex Dynamic Environments
A motion generation method for robot manipulators in complex dynamic environments is presented. The method integrates global motion planning with local obstacle avoidance, ensuring continuous movement toward dynamically measured target poses. An online distance calculation algorithm is developed, and a collision‐free motion generator is proposed that ...
