Habitat‐Specific Design Strategies for Untethered Soft Robots
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Habitat shapes the design of untethered soft robots. Across land, water, air, and living tissues, environmental constraints govern viable combinations of compliant structures, actuation mechanisms, and energy delivery. This review connects these constraints with robotic performance and identifies design principles for advancing adaptable, durable, and ...

3D Closed‐Loop Navigation of Magnetic Microswimmers Using Vision‐Derived Depth Feedback
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.A planar magnetic microswimmer is navigated in three dimensions under a standard microscope. Image defocus supplies a real‐time depth cue, and model‐predictive control with A* planning steers the body on surfaces and in free swimming. Axial position is regulated by propulsion alone, without magnetic field gradients or extra cameras.

Flagellar dynamics of chains of active Janus particles fueled by an AC electric field
New Journal of Physics, 2018 We study the active dynamics of self-propelled asymmetrical colloidal particles (Janus particles) fueled by an AC electric field. Both the speed and direction of the self-propulsion, and the strength of the attractive interaction between particles can be

Intelligent Continuum Micromachines in Complex Confined Spaces
SmartBot, EarlyView.The cover depicts a conceptual design for an intelligent continuum micromachine entering a target capsule used in fusion‐energy research through its slender gas‐fill tube. By combining route‐adaptive deformation, embedded sensing, and a functional end effector, the robot could inspect hidden defects, assess local conditions, and support localized ...
