Multifunctional Position and Stiffness Control of Soft Fluidic Actuators Using Supercooled Liquid

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
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.

Monolithic Biohybrid Flexure Mechanism Actuated by Bioengineered Skeletal Muscle Tissue

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A scalable, monolithic biohybrid flexure mechanism is presented, integrating engineered skeletal muscle tissue with a soft, biocompatible, hollow silicone cylinder featuring dual pillars. Muscle contraction induces bending motion upon electrical stimulation, with performance governed by the structure's flexural rigidity.

An Eyeball‐Movement‐Inspired Multi‐DOF Miniature Piezoelectric Actuator with Strong Load‐Driving Capability

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Inspired by the eye movements of humans, a multi‐degree‐of‐freedom (multi‐DOF) miniature piezoelectric actuator with a square‐circular ring structure is proposed. The actuator demonstrates a well‐balanced performance in miniaturization, operational efficiency, actuation precision, and load‐driving capability.
