A Soft Robotic Fish With a Dielectric Elastomer Actuator Body and Negative Stiffness Spine

open access: yesAdvanced 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.

Comprehensive Analysis of De-Icing Technologies for Wind Turbine Blades: Mechanisms, Modeling, and Performance Evaluation

open access: yesEnergies
The accumulation of ice on wind turbine blades presents a significant challenge in cold and high-altitude regions, where it alters the aerodynamic profile of the blades, increases drag, and reduces lift. Icing can reduce annual energy production by 20–40%
