Existing soft pumps often require tradeoffs between performance and compatibility with soft robotic systems. The proposed trielectrode electrostatic soft pump addresses these limitations through an innovative driving mechanism. Its design, which includes a trielectrode configuration and the use of compliant materials, improves operational efficiency ...

A Two‐Stage Characterization Pipeline and Open‐Source Framework for Reproducible Tactile Sensing
The same soft tactile sensor returns different numbers when embodied in different robots. This is an Embodiment Gap that no shared framework currently captures transparently. A two‐stage characterization pipeline, paired with a FAIR open‐source digital datasheet, decouples intrinsic sensor behavior from embodiment effects and condenses cross‐laboratory

We developed methods to characterize soft contractile actuators using force–displacement measurements in the passive state and the total force in the active state and define the operational range of thermal, electrothermal, and pneumatic muscles. A graphical method enables the selection of an actuator based on the required mechanical force–displacement

A Compact Multijoint Finger Motion Sensing Module for Flexible Exoskeleton Applications
Addressing the motion estimation gap in underactuated wearable electronics, a highly integrated sensor alongside a customized readout circuit is proposed. Featuring a screen‐printed layout and optimized horseshoe geometry, this design establishes an optimal feedback mechanism for flexible hand exoskeletons while eliminating wiring clutter.

Inspired by human touch, a tendon‐driven soft robotic finger combines multimodal tactile sensing and deep learning to simultaneously perceive texture and softness on deformable surfaces. A CNN‐LSTM model fuses pressure, accelerometer, and gyroscope signals to accurately classify material properties, achieving up to 95.4% texture and 97.0% softness ...

An intelligent piezoelectric vibration control system integrating self‐sensing, autonomous operation, and adaptive bias‐flip synchronized switching damping (SSD) is developed. The system detects vibration extrema, executes synchronized switching control, and autonomously establishes the bias voltage without external sensing instruments, achieving ...
