Electropermanent Magnetic Muscles: Power‐Efficient, Low‐Voltage, Compact Magnetic Actuators to Power Wearables and Untethered Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This work presents compact, low‐voltage actuators based on electropermanent magnetic interactions. The actuators show good overall performance across key metrics and are implemented in wearable devices and untethered robots. Their ability to operate in different configurations and hold positions without energy input highlights their potential for ...

Collaborative Multiagent Closed‐Loop Motion Planning for Multimanipulator Systems

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This work presents a hierarchical multi‐manipulator planner, emphasizing highly overlapping space. The proposed method leverages an enhanced Dynamic Movement Primitive based planner along with an improvised Multi‐Agent Reinforcement Learning approach to ensure regulatory and mediatory control while ensuring low‐level autonomy. Experiments across varied
