A Soft Robotic Jellyfish with Decoupled Actuators for Agile 3D Locomotion

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study presents a soft robotic jellyfish featuring a functionally decoupled actuation architecture. By separating propulsion, steering, and vertical regulation into independent modules, the robot overcomes conventional coupled‐motion limitations. Utilizing a passive‐valve‐based differential drag strategy and lateral water jets, it achieves agile 3D

Compact Tubular Dielectric Elastomer Pump for Indoor Plants

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
This study develops a mountable rolled dielectric elastomer pump (MRDEP) using silicone films and MWCNT‐based electrodes. The MRDEP is completely soft, silent in operation, and easily mounted on a piping system. We use dry stacking methods, fabricate a multilayer dielectric elastomer actuator (DEA), and a pre‐straining process in one direction before ...

Electronic jelly: Engineering the mechanics of hydrogels for flexible electronics

FlexMat, EarlyView.
By unifying mechanical reinforcement strategies—double networks, structural ordering, and dynamic interactions—this review demonstrates how engineered hydrogels can transcend their fragility to achieve the strength, toughness, and reliability required for flexible electronics, including wearable sensors, energy devices, and soft robotic systems ...

Programmable crack dynamics engineering enables flexible strain sensors with high linearity

FlexMat, EarlyView.
First‐decoupling theoretical framework of crack evolution elucidating the control methods, mechanistic insights, and structure‐activity relationships is established. Crack propagation from uncontrollable randomness systematically evolves into spatially ordered states.
