Existing soft pumps often require tradeoffs between performance and compatibility with soft robotic systems. The proposed trielectrode electrostatic soft pump addresses these limitations through an innovative driving mechanism. Its design, which includes a trielectrode configuration and the use of compliant materials, improves operational efficiency ...

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 ...

Multifunctional Position and Stiffness Control of Soft Fluidic Actuators Using Supercooled Liquid
This work explores the use of supercooled liquid as a multifunctional working fluid for soft actuators to allow independent control of position and stiffness; the solution is used to both inflate the elastomer chambers while in liquid state and to achieve a dramatic increase in stiffness (up to 13 times) with rapid, reversible crystallization.

Toward Autonomous Self‐Healing in Soft Robotics: A Review and Perspective for Future Research
In this article, five different phases (damage detection, cleaning, damage closure, material healing, and healing assessment) are investigated to have an autonomous self‐healing at the system level with the focus on soft robotics. It delves into the importance of each phase, why and where they matter, and reviews relevant technologies that enable ...
