A Multimode Soft Robot Based on a Single Braided Tube
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This study introduces a novel soft multimode robot based on a single braided tube directly formed and actuated by SMA wires with distinct initial configurations. By combining contraction, elongation, and bending deformations, the robot achieves straight crawling, turning, inchworm crawling, and rolling without additional actuators.

Sub‐Micrometer‐Precision Path Following of Piezo‐Actuated Mobile Robot
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This article reports on the Holonomic‐Beetle (HB), a palm‐sized robot that achieves sub‐micrometer (sub‐µm) precision path tracking across spatial ranges from 100 µm to 10 mm. Using proportional‐integral‐derivative (PID) control, the HB accurately tracks both complex and straight paths with sub‐µm path errors, surpassing existing robots.

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Shape memory alloy wires exhibit thermally induced phase changes that generate actuation strain and resistance variations enabling self‐sensing. However, hysteretic electromechanical behavior complicates accurate state estimation. This paper presents an artificial in‐based self‐sensing method to reconstruct SMA actuator position in real time, achieving
