A Multimode Soft Robot Based on a Single Braided Tube

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study introduces a novel soft multimode robot based on a single braided tube directly formed and actuated by SMA wires with distinct initial configurations. By combining contraction, elongation, and bending deformations, the robot achieves straight crawling, turning, inchworm crawling, and rolling without additional actuators.

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 ...

Maneuverable Multilegged Locomotion through Anisotropically Arranged Soft Backbones in a Single‐Actuator Modular Miniature Robot

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A modular eight‐legged robot exploits anisotropically oriented soft I‐beam backbones to transmit vibration from a single unbalanced‐mass actuator, producing frequency‐dependent multimodal gaits. A pseudo‐rigid‐body model enables high‐fidelity MuJoCo simulation, while Bayesian parameter identification and reinforcement learning yield robust control ...

Investigation of Hexagonal Honeycomb Topology for Impact Optimization in Energetic Material

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The regulation of the mechanical properties of energetic materials manufactured by traditional processes is constrained. However, the introduction of lattice structures can facilitate the regulation of mechanical properties without necessitating alterations to the materials themselves. Using finite element analysis and experimental validation,

Self‐Creation of Accelerated Temporal Mirrors

Advanced Physics Research, EarlyView.
The field of temporal analog effects is rapidly emerging and seen as a driver of a paradigm shift in photonics. It promises striking new phenomena but remains experimentally challenging. This work introduces a mechanism that automatically creates a temporal mirror with simple optical means, unlocking practical access to extreme nonlinear dynamics and ...
