Small‐Scale Magnetic Peristaltic Soft Robot With Mobility and Transport Capabilities

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 9, September 2026.
This study introduces a miniature, untethered soft magnetic microrobot with peristaltic capabilities for both locomotion and cargo transport. Eight helically magnetized elastomeric strips deform under rotating fields (10–80 mT, 1–5 Hz), enabling movement across rods and lumina at up to 4.1 body lengths min‐¹.

Recent advances in multifunctional soft robots: A materials–structures–systems co‐design perspective for synergistic integration

FlexMat, Volume 3, Issue 3, Page 452-501, September 2026.
Abstract Soft robots, engineered from highly compliant materials, offer superior adaptability and safety in unstructured environments compared to their rigid counterparts. Recent advancements, fueled by bio‐inspiration and material programmability, have led to the rapid co‐evolution of their core modules: actuation, sensing, protection, energy, and ...

Cteno‐Bot: An Untethered Metachronally Swimming Robot With Magnetoactive Propulsors

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
We present Cteno‐bot, an untethered ctenophore‐inspired robot which swims using metachronally coordinated appendages. A single mechanism controls up to 216 magnetoactive propulsors via a dynamically varying magnetic field. We show that the swimming speed of the robot can be increased without a corresponding increase in power requirement, simply by ...

Effect of Material Composition on Tunable Surface Roughness of Magnetoactive Elastomers [PDF]

Polymers, 2019
We investigated magnetic-field-induced modifications of the surface roughness of magnetoactive elastomers (MAEs) with four material compositions incorporating two concentrations of ferromagnetic microparticles (70 wt% and 80 wt%) and exhibiting two shear storage moduli of the resulting composite material (about 10 kPa and 30 kPa).

A Data‐Driven Multiscale Scheme for Anisotropic Finite Strain Magneto‐Elasticity

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 127, Issue 12, 30 June 2026.
ABSTRACT In this work, we develop a neural network‐based, data‐driven, decoupled multiscale scheme for the modeling of structured magnetically soft magnetorheological elastomers (MREs). On the microscale, sampled magneto‐mechanical loading paths are imposed on a representative volume element containing spherical particles and an elastomer matrix, and ...

Hybrid Magnetoactive Soft Elastomers: Material Development Toward Application in Diaphragm Pumps

Advanced Materials Technologies, Volume 11, Issue 11, 5 June 2026.
Hybrid magnetoactive soft elastomeric membranes are developed by combining two different types of magnetic particles. The membranes exhibit distinct mechanical, magnetic and thermal properties owing to the unique characteristics of the two magnetic particles.
