Abstract Electrification of distillation processes through discretely heat integrated distillation columns (D‐HIDiC) is an effective approach to enhance energy efficiency and lower carbon emissions. For separating systems with high temperature lift, multi‐stage compression and inter‐stage cooling are necessary to link the high‐pressure rectifier and ...

Model‐based fault diagnosis in closed‐loop safety‐critical chemical reactors: An experimental study
Abstract This experimental study investigates fault detection and estimation in a continuous stirred‐tank reactor (CSTR) system under closed‐loop feedback control, including an analysis of different manipulative inputs for temperature regulation. A novel fault diagnosis approach is proposed, combining residual signal analysis and T2 statistic for real ...

Multistable Composite Laminate Grids as a Design Tool for Soft Reconfigurable Multirotors
Flexible, lightweight, stable: the reconfigurable multirotor combines stable flight in multiple shapes with low‐energy reconfiguration. Utilizing optimized multistable composites, it achieves self‐locking in open and folded configurations, cutting width‐span by 48% and allowing for safe gap traversal.

Self‐Sensing Artificial‐Muscle‐Empowered Humanlike Perception, Interaction, and Positioning
The proposed self‐sensorized artificial muscle (SSAM) can sense its length change as small as 0.01 mm via a seamlessly integrated multi‐segment induction coil. The SSAM provides accurate length information regardless of its loadings, driving pressure, or muscle design, adequate for robust data‐driven feedback control.

Teleoperated Magnetic Endoscopy: A Case Study and Perspective
This perspective highlights the recent research efforts in robotic magnetic platforms for telesurgery and their translation to clinical settings for endoscopic procedures. To demonstrate this approach, this work also introduces an in vivo gastroscopy performed in a porcine model, during which an operator in Zurich, Switzerland, successfully controls a ...

Single‐pump‐actuated transformable dual‐mode gripper (SATDG) that combines vacuum suction and granular jamming to effectively grasp objects ranging from 10 to 300 mm in size, spanning a vast 30‐fold range, with forces from 0.5 to 21 N, is studied. Using a bistable mechanism and origami structure, the SATDG can transform between two modes and activate ...

Modular Stimuli‐Responsive Valves for Pneumatic Soft Robots
Modular stimuli‐responsive valves, based on responsive materials (i.e., liquid crystal elastomers and hydrogels) and mechanical mechanisms, can autonomously regulate airflow in the presence of multiple environmental stimuli, such as light and water.
