3D‐Nanoprinted Fluidically Steerable Soft Robotic Microcatheters

Advanced Robotics Research, Volume 2, Issue 4, August 2026.
This work introduces a ∼3‐French (1 mm‐in‐diameter) soft robotic microcatheter fabricated by means of two‐photon direct laser writing. The 3D‐printed microcatheter enables remote, on‐demand steering via microfluidic actuation for guidewire‐free navigation of vascular networks as well as microcatheter‐mediated delivery of fluidic payloads to target ...

Advances in Electroactive Liquid Crystal Elastomers for Intelligent Robotics and Electronics

Advanced Robotics Research, Volume 2, Issue 4, August 2026.
Electroactive liquid crystal elastomers (eLCEs) integrate molecular anisotropy with electrical functionality to enable programmable actuation and reconfigurable electronics. This review classifies eLCEs into robotic actuators and adaptive electronics, summarizes key actuation mechanisms, and highlights fabrication strategies that bridge materials to ...

Shear‐Induced Emergence of Aromatic Superlow‐Friction Interfaces in Amorphous Carbon: Triggering Chemical Impurities and Atomic‐Scale Mechanisms

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 43, 3 August 2026.
High‐throughput quantum‐mechanical simulations reveal that amorphous carbon undergoes shear‐driven structural transformation into aromatic, graphene‐like interfaces. This mechanochemical process is governed by dopant chemistry: dopants with valency less than four promote the emergence of superlow‐friction amorphous graphene, whereas tetra‐valent ...

One‐Shot Multimaterial 3D Printing of a Flexible Spine for a Robotic Fish Prototype

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
A one‐shot multimaterial 3D printing approach enables a monolithic soft robotic fish integrating a compliant spine and rigid vertebrae. Electromagnetic linear actuators drive tendon‐based transmission, producing controlled tail oscillations. Finite element modeling and experiments show strong agreement, while optimized material selection improves ...

Liquid Crystal Elastomers Filaments for Adaptive Textiles and Soft Robotics: A Processing‐Centric Review

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, Volume 47, Issue 15, 4 August 2026.
Liquid crystal elastomer (LCE) filaments are fabricated through extrusion with in‐process UV curing, enabling controlled flow alignment and network locking of mesogens. The resulting structure responds to thermal or optical stimuli, inducing molecular reorientation and macroscopic contraction.

Tailoring a Dual‐Scale Heterostructure With γ‐Textures and Nano‐β0 Dispersion for Synergistic Enhancement of Mechanical Properties of TiAl Alloy

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The limited crack resistance of coarse grain boundaries and coarse interfaces leads to an incompatibility between high‐temperature strength and ductility in TiAl alloys. Tailoring stress‐oriented textures and multiscale heterogeneous interfaces can effectively impede crack propagation, thereby overcoming this trade‐off.

A Hybrid Compliant–Tendon Laparoscopic Instrument for Distal Articulation and Grasping: Design and Experimental Validation

The International Journal of Medical Robotics and Computer Assisted Surgery, Volume 22, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Conventional laparoscopic instruments provide limited dexterity in confined anatomical environments, whereas existing articulated designs rely on complex rigid joints or motorised actuation, increasing mechanical complexity and limiting miniaturisation.
