A Miniature Rotary Electrostatic Clutch for Assigning Multi‐Degrees of Freedom to Insect‐Scale Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Insect‐scale crawling robots can traverse confined environments; nevertheless, their functionalities are predominantly restricted to sensing because of challenges in integrating actuated degrees of freedom. Herein, a miniature rotary electrostatic clutch is presented by incorporating cutting patterns in the clutch layer.

Phase‐Change Alloys Enable Localized Reversible Stiffening and Actuation in Steerable Eversion Tip‐Growing Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This work presents a tip‐growing eversion robot that uses phase‐changing alloys for reversible stiffening and localized actuation, achieving 43× stiffness modulation, 15× force amplification, and segmental steering. The system enables precise navigation and force delivery in constrained, tortuous pathways.

Relationship between Barcol hardness and flexural modulus degradation of composite sheets subjected to flexural fatigue

open access: yesSteel and Composite Structures, 2015
The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between Barcol hardness (H) and flexural modulus (E) degradation of composite sheets subjected to flexural fatigue. The resin transfer molding (RTM) method was used to produce 3-mm-thick composite sheets with fiber volume fraction of 44%.

Electrothermally Controlled 3D‐Printed Shape Memory Polymers for Near‐Ambient Temperature Soft Robotic Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
In this article, we develop bespoke resins for stereolithography 3D‐printing of soft‐robotic grippers that are controlled remotely by electrothermal stimulus near ambient temperatures. Turning on the electrical control, each finger can be actuated separately.
