Arthropod‐Inspired Miniature Modular Vibration Direct‐Drive Robot With Untethered Locomotion
This work presents an arthropod‐inspired untethered miniature modular vibration direct‐drive robot. By utilizing standardized driving units and nested locking interfaces, on‐demand reconfiguration into quadruped, hexapod, octopod, and circular morphologies is achieved.

Inspired by the insect campaniform sensillum, a heterogeneous bilayer strain sensor is developed based on a unique impedance mismatch and three‐dimensional structural dynamic percolation strategy. The sensor enables real‐time multi‐joint teleoperation of three joints and the gripper using a six‐degree‐of‐freedom robotic‐arm platform.

A conductive TPU/liquid‐metal nanofibrous film is fabricated via ultrasonic dispersion, electrospinning, and mold imprinting. The film is breathable, stretchable, deformation‐stable, and provides electromagnetic shielding. n‐Butanol encapsulation mitigates liquid‐metal surface tension and improves biocompatibility. Stable ECG, EOG, EEG, and EMG signals

Self‐Responsive Plastron Maintenance on a Superhydrophobic Mesh via Locally Integrated Electrolysis
This work presents a self‐switchable SHM‐E surface that enables rapid, autonomous plastron self‐repair and long‐term stability. Plastron loss triggers circuit closure and localized electrolysis, while capillary spreading rapidly restores a continuous plastron and self‐terminates the current.
