Multimodal Locomotion of Soft Robots

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This review comprehensively surveys recent advances in multimodal locomotion within soft robotics. Typical locomotion modes are summarized and categorized. Furthermore, the underlying mechanisms enabling multimodal locomotion are discussed and classified into three primary categories: active control‐based, reconfiguration‐based, and environment ...

Contact Force Estimation of Continuum Robots without Embedded Sensors: A Review

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This review surveys methods for estimating contact forces in continuum robots without embedded sensors. It explains why contact force matters, classifies force patterns, and groups existing methods into three approaches based on actuation, deformation, and environment information.

Comparative Neuromechanical Wing‐Actuation Architectures of Flapping Flight in Insects, Hummingbirds, and Robots

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Natural fliers achieve remarkable aerial performance through diverse wing neuromechanical systems integrating actuation, sensing, and control. This study synthesizes neuromechanical architectures in insects and hummingbirds, identifying two key functional types‐Dual Neural‐Mechanical Oscillator and Neurally‐modulated Mechanical Oscillator‐ and ...

A Soft Wearable Robot for Vertical Jump Enhancement via a Pneumatic Energy‐Storing Propulsion Actuator and Triarticular Kinetic‐Chained Structure

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
The Jump‐Enhancing Textile Suit integrates the Pneumatic Energy‐Storing Propulsion Actuator (PESPA) and the Triarticular Kinetic‐Chained Structure (TKiCS). PESPA stores elastic energy under pneumatic pressure and releases it during the propulsive phase to augment movement.

Optisense: Computational Optimization for Strain Sensor Placement in Wearable Motion Tracking Systems

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A computational framework for optimizing strain sensor placement in wearable motion tracking systems is presented. By combining dense strain mapping with a genetic algorithm, the method discovers counterintuitive yet highly effective configurations that reduce joint angle error by 32%.

Topology Optimization for a Rigid‐Compliant Hybrid Constant Force Gripper

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Constant‐force grippers deliver near‐constant output without sensors, cutting cost and complexity. This study proposes a topology‐optimization framework jointly designing rigid links and material distribution, modeled via link‐state and element‐density variables with constant force as the objective.
