Toward More Autonomous Soft Robots: Development and Characterization of a 3D‐Printed Pneumatic Contact Sensor for a Six‐Legged Soft Robotic Walker

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This article introduces a fully 3D‐printed, electronics‐free sensory system for a six‐legged soft robot, enabling adaptive responses such as obstacle detection and directional changes using pneumatic logic gates. The design demonstrates efficient, robust operation through rapid sensor feedback and autonomous functionality, highlighting new ...

Multiobjective Environmental Cleanup with Autonomous Surface Vehicle Fleets Using Multitask Multiagent Deep Reinforcement Learning

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study presents a multitask strategy for plastic cleanup with autonomous surface vehicles, combining exploration and cleaning phases. A two‐headed Deep Q‐Network shared by all agents is traineded via multiobjective reinforcement learning, producing a Pareto front of trade‐offs.

Self‐Healing Materials from Electronically Integrated Microscopic Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Submillimeter robots can use electronically controlled electrodeposition to assemble into a material structure. The resulting aggregate possesses ultralow density, high strength‐to‐weight ratio, and can heal from damage. Further afield, these results clear a path to materials that organize or adapt by directing matter and information at the microscale.
