Impact of Biomimetic Pinna Shape Variation on Clutter Echoes: A Machine Learning Approach
Bats with dynamic ear structures navigate dense, echo‐rich environments, yet the echoes they receive are highly random. This study shows that machine learning can reliably detect structural signatures in these seemingly chaotic biosonar signals. The results open new directions for biologically inspired sensing, where time‐varying receiver shapes ...

A Dual‐Ion Multiphysics Model for Smart and Sustainable Sensors Based on Bacterial Cellulose
Bacterial cellulose (BC), functionalized with ionic liquids (ILs) and conductive polymers, offers promise for sustainable sensor applications. To enable real‐world integration, this work presents the first dual‐carrier, multiphysics white‐box model of mechanoelectric transduction in BC–IL sensors, combining mechanical deformation and ion transport ...

Microrobotic Catheterization of the Ophthalmic Artery for Targeted Treatment of Retinoblastoma
A microrobotic platform is presented that allows teleoperated and autonomous navigation of flow‐driven magnetic microcatheters, MagFlow, into the ophthalmic artery for superselective intra‐arterial infusion of chemotherapy to treat retinoblastoma. Extensive benchtop validations with patient‐derived biomimetic phantoms under optical and fluoroscopic ...

A tongue‐like bioactuator is developed using orthogonally aligned cultured skeletal muscle tissues. By applying directional electrical stimulation of varying strengths, the actuator achieves jointless, multidirectional movements. The device features a fully soft, skeleton‐free design, enabling biomimetic deformation and functional actuation, and offers
