Soft Wearable Haptic Display and Flexible 3D Force Sensor for Teleoperated Surgical Systems

Advanced Sensor Research
Haptic (touch) is important for effective interaction with the surroundings. In teleoperated surgical systems, its absence leads to reduced perception, making delicate tasks difficult and resulting in unexpected damage to surrounding tissues.

In Situ Photopolymerization of Smectic B Liquid‐Crystalline Electrolytes from Mesogenic Phosphate–Diacrylate/Ionic Liquid Complexes for High‐Performance Soft Ionic Actuators

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A flexible liquid‐crystalline electrolyte membrane via in situ photopolymerization of a phosphate‐functionalized mesogen, ionic liquid, and diacrylate monomer is developed. The resulting smectic B (SmB)‐phase structure enables 2D ion transport with high conductivity (10−4 S cm−1).
