Data‐Driven Design of Bimodal Networked Dielectric Elastomers for High‐Performance Artificial Muscles

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A data‐efficient artificial intelligence‐assisted framework, which integrates experimental data with machine learning, is developed for the design of bimodal networked dielectric elastomers (DEs) as advanced artificial muscles. It adopts neural networks to predict DEs’ mechanical properties and support vector machines to classify electromechanical ...

Scalable High‐Force Zipping Electrostatic Actuators

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
An electrostatic actuator architecture is presented that combines high energy density with forces and strokes suited for wearable soft robotics. By folding patterned thin films into a scalable honeycomb of zipping units, performance becomes tunable through series–parallel design, achieving over 40 N and 28 J/kg.
