Characterization and Selection of Contractile Actuators for Soft Robotics Operating in the Quasistatic Regime

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
We developed methods to characterize soft contractile actuators using force–displacement measurements in the passive state and the total force in the active state and define the operational range of thermal, electrothermal, and pneumatic muscles. A graphical method enables the selection of an actuator based on the required mechanical force–displacement

Thermally Drawn Bioelectric Catheters: Enabling Proprioceptive Endovascular Navigation

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This work introduces a novel bioelectric navigation system eliminates the need for harmful fluoroscopy during endovascular surgeries. A bespoke 16‐electrode catheter is fabricated using rapid thermal drawing and laser micro‐machining. Paired with a real‐time tracking algorithm fusing vascular geometry detection and distance estimation, this technology ...

A Bioinspired Underwater Soft Robot for Active Intravesical Liquid Delivery and Mixing

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A bioinspired underwater soft robot is reported that integrates an elastic strain energy‐driven soft robotic pump with a programmable flexible magnetic valve, enabling remotely controlled, programmable, and sustained liquid release and mixing. This functionality is enabled by the synergistic integration of elastic strain energy‐driven pumping and ...

HeaTrace: A Parametric Design‐to‐Fabrication Workflow for Thermally Programmable Soft Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A programmable thermal actuation workflow enables soft robots to be designed and fabricated with embedded heaters that drive multiple responses. By combining performance‐driven heater design with multimaterial fabrication, the system supports thermally triggered shape change, stiffness tuning, and thermochromic visual response, as demonstrated through ...

3D Closed‐Loop Navigation of Magnetic Microswimmers Using Vision‐Derived Depth Feedback

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A planar magnetic microswimmer is navigated in three dimensions under a standard microscope. Image defocus supplies a real‐time depth cue, and model‐predictive control with A* planning steers the body on surfaces and in free swimming. Axial position is regulated by propulsion alone, without magnetic field gradients or extra cameras.
