Tiling Robotics: A New Paradigm of Shape‐Morphing Reconfigurable Robots
Tiling robotics is a novel paradigm of shape‐morphing reconfigurable robots, defining them as polyform‐inspired machines capable of transforming between at least two polymorphic shapes. Various reconfiguration‐enabling and locomotion mechanisms of tiling robots are comparatively analyzed, with the electromechanical developments, along with a proposed ...

Woven, In‐Air, Textile Actuators by Conjugated Polymers and Solid‐State Electrolyte Tape Yarns
Herein, the concept of fabric actuators with trilayer tape yarns is reported. The tape yarns consist of conjugated polymer layers and ionogel, as an ion reservoir, enabling actuation in‐air. Using textile techniques to create actuators offer many advantages, such as parallel assembly for increased force output, conductive yarns for electrical control ...

A Motion‐Sensing Integrated Soft Robot with Triboelectric Nanogenerator for Pipeline Inspection
A soft robot integrated with triboelectric nanogenerator‐based tactile sensors is proposed to achieve locomotion within pipelines and exteroception of different materials and structures of pipeline inner surfaces. By introducing a 1D‐convolutional neural network algorithm, the soft robot's accuracy in recognizing eight different pipe inner surface ...
