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

Bio‐Inspired Carbon Spheres Enable Active Sites Multiscale‐Anchoring and Pre‐Reduction

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
Combining the wet‐spinning technique with a “bionic design” concept, a bio‐inspired carbon sphere support with internal finger‐shaped pores and external craquelure structures is designed and constructed, and the corresponding carbon sphere reactor is fabricated through the multiscale anchoring and the pre‐reduced promoting, and verified for application
