Compliant Pneumatic Feet with Real‐Time Stiffness Adaptation for Humanoid Locomotion
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.A compliant pneumatic foot with real‐time variable stiffness enables humanoid robots to adapt to changing terrains. Using onboard vision and pressure control, the foot modulates stiffness within each gait cycle, reducing impact forces and improving balance. The design, cast in soft silicone with embedded air chambers and Kevlar wrapping, offers durable,

A Soft Robotic Fish With a Dielectric Elastomer Actuator Body and Negative Stiffness Spine
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This work introduces a bio‐mimetic soft robotic fish driven by fiber‐reinforced dielectric elastomer actuators integrated as its body. By prestretching this active skin against a flexible spine, a negative stiffness system is created, enabling large‐amplitude bending.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.General schematic of the approach. Abstract Conventional Silver/Silver Chloride (Ag/AgCl) electrodes remain the clinical standard for electrophysiological monitoring but are hindered by poor skin conformity, mechanical rigidity, and signal degradation, particularly under motion or sweat.

Improved dielectric breakdown strength using bimodal functionalized silica nanoparticles
, 2014 Nanodielectrics, or dielectric polymer nanocomposites, can exhibit significant improvements in voltage endurance and dielectric breakdown strength compared to unfilled polymer. This work takes advantage of the large interfacial area between the matrix and the filler as a means to introduce chemistry that can further tailor the dielectric properties of ...

Tunable Switching Mechanisms in HfZrO2‐Based Tunnel Junctions for High‐Performance Synaptic Arrays
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This work demonstrates hybrid switching in engineered HZO‐based FTJs, enabled by controlled interlayer design and oxygen scavenging dynamics. The combined switching mechanism produces robust multilevel conductance states in large crossbar arrays, offering a materials‐driven pathway toward scalable in‐memory computing with enhanced tunability and ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Triboelectric charge generation at polymer‐metal interfaces arises from the interplay of intra‐ and inter transformation reactions of mechanochemically generated species, physical properties of polymers, environmental conditions. The direction and the magnitude of electron transfer between metal and polymer are dynamically governed by the relative ...
