A Novel Crawling Robot Based on the Hexagonal Mesh Structure and Enhanced PID Control Strategy

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The locomotion of crawling robots is similar to that of caterpillars, relying on foot adhesion and body contraction to ensure flexible movement without compromising stability. However, most existing pneumatic soft crawling robots are incapable of simultaneously achieving forward, backward, turning, and climbing capabilities.

4D printing of fast‐responsive liquid crystalline elastomers for light‐driven actuators

open access: yesResponsive Materials, EarlyView.
Combining 3D printing with responsive materials, known as 4D printing, enables the fabrication of smart structures with programmable actuation. This study presents a photoresponsive LCE ink for DIW, achieving millisecond‐scale activation under blue light.

Highly Dynamic Soft Electrohydraulic Origami Actuators for Agile and Multimodal Robotic Locomotion

open access: yesSmartBot, EarlyView.
Most current soft robots still lag far behind their natural counterparts in both agility and speed, mainly attributed to the limited morphing modes and performance of soft actuators. Here, the authors report a new methodology of electrohydraulic origami (EHO) for creating powerful and multimodal soft actuators with large strain, high speed, lightweight,

Impact of Structural Heterogeneities in Hierarchically Grown Microribbons on 2D WS2 Monolayer on the Measured Local Hydrogen Evolution Activity on Au Substrate

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Spatially resolved SECCM measurements reveal that hierarchically grown microribbons on 2D WS2 drastically suppress local HER activity. Relative to the basal plane of the 2D monolayer directly supported on an Au substrate, single‐layer and multilayer microribbons exhibit more than a ∼5‐fold and >10‐fold decrease in current density, respectively.

A Sensitive Thermoelectric Respiratory Sensor Using a Hollow‐Square Structure of Cubic Silicon Carbide‐Based Heterojunction

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
A sensitive self‐powered respiratory sensor is developed using a hollow‐window structure implemented on a 3C‐SiC/Si heterojunction‐based platform. This design enables the manipulation of thermal transport with the heterojunction regulating the flow of thermally generated charge carriers, yielding a significantly higher output thermal voltage than that ...
