Toward Perception‐Native Electronic Skin: Bio‐Inspired In‐/Near‐Sensor and Neuromorphic Computing for Humanoid Robots

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Dense tactile streams from across the humanoid body converge on collide in a central wiring and data bottleneck. By relocating computation closer to and then into the skin itself, near‐ and in‐sensor architectures, together with neuromorphic computing, chart a path toward perception‐native electronic skin, in which the conversion of stimulus into ...

4D–Printed Photothermally Actuated Soft Microgripper on an Optical Fiber Tip for Biomedical Applications

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
In this study, we developed a light–driven soft microgripper by 3D–printing a photo–crosslinkable, temperature–responsive hydrogel with embedded silver particles onto an optical fiber tip. The microgripper actuates via photothermal effects at cell culture temperature and can gently grasp spheroids without minimal damage, offering a compact, actuator ...

Angled Nozzle Aerosol Jet Printing to Streamline Conformal Patterning of Electronics

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A modular, angled aerosol jet printhead is demonstrated to streamline patterning on nonplanar surfaces, including 90° step edges and confined internal geometries. A detailed analysis of gravitational settling for a sheathed aerosol flow and deconvolution of oblique deposition and gravitational effects supports the versatility of this approach for ...
