Reconfigurable Haptic Feedback: Comprehensive Design and Control Framework

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Herein, a modular framework is presented for designing and controlling soft robotic haptic devices capable of shape and stiffness modulation. These reconfigurable modules enable adaptable tactile feedback for virtual reality and assistive rehabilitation. Two use cases are demonstrated and it is shown how minimal sensing, combined with machine learning,

Symmetry Breaking Metamaterial Sleeve Actuators

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Metamaterial sleeves are designed to impart to a soft inflatable structure, nonlinear characteristics within the pressure–volume domain. By tuning the unit cells of the metamaterial sleeve, symmetry breaking is achieved during the inflation–deflation cycle.

An Ultrathin and Lightweight Soft Inflatable Actuator for Natural Tactile Sensory Feedback

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A lightweight, ultrathin soft actuator mimics natural touch by delivering strong, multimodal haptic feedback through pressure and vibration. Tested on both able‐bodied individuals and amputees, it achieves high sensory precision in a compact form. Its simplicity, power, and adaptability hint at transformative applications in prosthetics, immersive ...

DuckyDog: An Erect Amphibious Robot with Variable‐Stiffness Legs and Passive Fins

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
DuckyDog, a quadruped amphibious robot using erect posture, is proposed with dog‐inspired tendon‐driven compliant legs for walking and paddling, a duck‐inspired body for buoyancy, and passive fins to increase propulsion. It achieves maximum speeds of 0.4 body lengths per second on land and 0.3 on water, demonstrating the ability to navigate in complex ...

Community‐engaged crime prevention through environmental design and reductions in violent and firearm crime

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract In the U.S., crime and violence are concentrated in cities that have lost industry and population due to economic disinvestment and structurally racist policies. Researchers, practitioners, and policymakers have called for community‐level approaches that reduce violence in these cities by improving unsafe physical environments, increasing ...
