Data‐Driven Modeling of Forces Exerted by Pneumatic Actuators for a Pediatric Exosuit

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This work presents the experimental analysis and data‐driven modeling of the interaction forces between soft pneumatic actuators designed to assist upper‐extremity motion in a pediatric exosuit and an engineered test rig, across different experimental conditions: (A) force profiling of shoulder actuators, with varying actuator anchoring points and ...

Scalable High‐Force Zipping Electrostatic Actuators

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
An electrostatic actuator architecture is presented that combines high energy density with forces and strokes suited for wearable soft robotics. By folding patterned thin films into a scalable honeycomb of zipping units, performance becomes tunable through series–parallel design, achieving over 40 N and 28 J/kg.

A Soft Robotic Jellyfish with Decoupled Actuators for Agile 3D Locomotion

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study presents a soft robotic jellyfish featuring a functionally decoupled actuation architecture. By separating propulsion, steering, and vertical regulation into independent modules, the robot overcomes conventional coupled‐motion limitations. Utilizing a passive‐valve‐based differential drag strategy and lateral water jets, it achieves agile 3D
