Robotic Materials With Bioinspired Microstructures for High Sensitivity and Fast Actuation
Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 15, 13 March 2026.In the review paper, design rationale and approaches for bioinspired sensors and actuators in robotics applications are presented. These bioinspired microstructure strategies implemented in both can improve the performance in several ways. Also, recent ideas and innovations that embed robotic materials with logic and computation with it are part of the

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 3, March 2026.ABSTRACT High‐power piezoelectric ceramics which have a wide operating temperature range are essential for sensor and actuator applications in extreme conditions. However, their development is fundamentally hindered by the inherent trade‐off among key parameters (TC, d33, Qm).
