Electropneumatic Oscillators Using Nonlinear Inflatables

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
In animals, self‐oscillations are essential to coordinate locomotion and other bodily functions. By combining hysteretic membranes with a resistive strain sensor, an electropneumatic self‐oscillator with an oscillation frequency that directly depends upon geometric parameters in the fluidic domain is introduced.

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.
