A Compact, High‐Performance, and Deformation‐Resilient Trielectrode Electrostatic Soft Pump for Soft Robotics

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2025.
Existing soft pumps often require tradeoffs between performance and compatibility with soft robotic systems. The proposed trielectrode electrostatic soft pump addresses these limitations through an innovative driving mechanism. Its design, which includes a trielectrode configuration and the use of compliant materials, improves operational efficiency ...

Collaborative Visual Localization for Modular Self‐Reconfigurable Robots

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Relative localization in modular self‐reconfigurable robots is challenged by hardware limitations, constrained fields of view, and sensor faults. This paper, based on the SnailBot platform, presents a vision‐based collaborative localization method that combines ArUco markers with learning‐based algorithms to enable robust pose estimation from ...

Measuring Local Exothermic Effects During the Oxidative Coupling of Methane Using Operando Luminescence Thermometry

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Operando luminescence thermometry shows that the local catalyst temperature can exceed the set oven temperature by almost 250°C during the exothermic oxidative coupling of methane process. We demonstrate how the reactor dimensions, catalyst grain size, and reactant feed mixture affect the local temperature.

Cteno‐Bot: An Untethered Metachronally Swimming Robot With Magnetoactive Propulsors

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
We present Cteno‐bot, an untethered ctenophore‐inspired robot which swims using metachronally coordinated appendages. A single mechanism controls up to 216 magnetoactive propulsors via a dynamically varying magnetic field. We show that the swimming speed of the robot can be increased without a corresponding increase in power requirement, simply by ...

Spatially Coupled Cl2 Confinement and Activation at Curved Ni Single‐Atom Sites for Highly Reversible Li–Cl2 Batteries

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A robust cathode featuring curvature‐engineered Ni single‐atoms anchored within hierarchical pores effectively confines Cl2 and accelerates Cl0/Cl−1 redox kinetics. This synergistic architecture unlocks the potential of Li‐Cl2 secondary batteries with an unprecedented 1×106 mAh g−1 cumulative capacity, all‐climate resilience (–40°C to + 70°C), and 7.65

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

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
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 ...

A Two‐Stage Characterization Pipeline and Open‐Source Framework for Reproducible Tactile Sensing

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
The same soft tactile sensor returns different numbers when embodied in different robots. This is an Embodiment Gap that no shared framework currently captures transparently. A two‐stage characterization pipeline, paired with a FAIR open‐source digital datasheet, decouples intrinsic sensor behavior from embodiment effects and condenses cross‐laboratory

Small‐Scale Magnetic Peristaltic Soft Robot With Mobility and Transport Capabilities

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study introduces a miniature, untethered soft magnetic microrobot with peristaltic capabilities for both locomotion and cargo transport. Eight helically magnetized elastomeric strips deform under rotating fields (10–80 mT, 1–5 Hz), enabling movement across rods and lumina at up to 4.1 body lengths min‐¹.
