Effective Material Stiffness in Curved Actuators

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A new actuator effective material stiffness measurement method is created. It produces a new metric called shape actuation modulus with the potential to help design actuators. This method shows that the smaller the curvature of hinge‐shaped actuators, the stiffer they are.

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

Advanced 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.

Effect of bio-filler on various properties of glass fiber reinforced epoxy composites

Hybrid Advances
Every year almost 130 kg billion of animal bone are produced all over the world. Most of these bones are treated as slaughterhouse waste and directly exposed to landfills and open environments which causes environmental degradation.

Tendon‐Driven Compliant Wheel‐Less Snake Robot for Undulatory Locomotion Using Conformable Ground Contacts

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study presents a tendon‐driven compliant snake robot that uses globally applied vertical bending and axial twisting along its body to enable various gaits. Body deflection from compliance and weight passively generates the ground contact patterns required for locomotion.
