Double Helix Structure for Stable Flexural Actuation in Soft Robotics

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This work introduces a double‐helical architecture for soft robotic actuators that enhances twisting resistance, increases output force, and minimizes undesired deformation. Actuators driven by shape‐memory alloy wires exhibit a roughly fivefold higher torsional/flexural stiffness ratio and 50% greater force output.

Toward Fully Soft and Multifunctional Shape Sensing via Optical Waveguide Arrays

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This work develops a sheet made with arrays of soft optical fibers that can reconstruct its 3D surface shape. Synergy of the waveguides’ responses to bending and pressing force allows shape reconstruction with resilience to damage. Applied onto surfaces of robotic or living systems, our design can be implemented in virtual reality, teleoperation ...

Characterization and Selection of Contractile Actuators for Soft Robotics Operating in the Quasistatic Regime

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
We developed methods to characterize soft contractile actuators using force–displacement measurements in the passive state and the total force in the active state and define the operational range of thermal, electrothermal, and pneumatic muscles. A graphical method enables the selection of an actuator based on the required mechanical force–displacement

A Compact Multijoint Finger Motion Sensing Module for Flexible Exoskeleton Applications

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Addressing the motion estimation gap in underactuated wearable electronics, a highly integrated sensor alongside a customized readout circuit is proposed. Featuring a screen‐printed layout and optimized horseshoe geometry, this design establishes an optimal feedback mechanism for flexible hand exoskeletons while eliminating wiring clutter.
