This article proposes a novel data‐driven approach for force contact location sensing (FCLS), based on scatter signals of the ultrasonic waveguide, with the influence of sensor strain and forces. The experimental results indicate that the accuracy of the proposed FCLS method has an mean absolute error loss of 0.627 mm and a mean relative error loss of ...

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 ...

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.
