Characterization and Selection of Contractile Actuators for Soft Robotics Operating in the Quasistatic Regime

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
We developed methods to characterize soft contractile actuators using force–displacement measurements in the passive state and the total force in the active state and define the operational range of thermal, electrothermal, and pneumatic muscles. A graphical method enables the selection of an actuator based on the required mechanical force–displacement

A Compact Multijoint Finger Motion Sensing Module for Flexible Exoskeleton Applications

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Addressing the motion estimation gap in underactuated wearable electronics, a highly integrated sensor alongside a customized readout circuit is proposed. Featuring a screen‐printed layout and optimized horseshoe geometry, this design establishes an optimal feedback mechanism for flexible hand exoskeletons while eliminating wiring clutter.

A Soft Robotic Finger With Deep Learning‐Enhanced Tactile Sensing for Texture and Softness Recognition

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Inspired by human touch, a tendon‐driven soft robotic finger combines multimodal tactile sensing and deep learning to simultaneously perceive texture and softness on deformable surfaces. A CNN‐LSTM model fuses pressure, accelerometer, and gyroscope signals to accurately classify material properties, achieving up to 95.4% texture and 97.0% softness ...

Benchmarking Data‐Driven Control of Octopus‐Inspired Soft Arms in Underwater Environment

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Underwater soft robots present safe, compliant interaction, yet reproducible control remains scarce. This work presents an open benchmark for octopus‐inspired arms: a smooth, velocity‐diverse data‐collection scheme produces a compact dataset to train a vanilla policy.

A Bioinspired Underwater Soft Robot for Active Intravesical Liquid Delivery and Mixing

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A bioinspired underwater soft robot is reported that integrates an elastic strain energy‐driven soft robotic pump with a programmable flexible magnetic valve, enabling remotely controlled, programmable, and sustained liquid release and mixing. This functionality is enabled by the synergistic integration of elastic strain energy‐driven pumping and ...
