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.

Monolithic Biohybrid Flexure Mechanism Actuated by Bioengineered Skeletal Muscle Tissue
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.

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.
