Simultaneous Actuation and Force Estimation Using Piezoelectric Actuators
2007 International Conference on Mechatronics and Automation, 2007 This paper introduces a force estimation method that enables simultaneous actuation and force estimation using piezoelectric actuators. The method combines an actuator input voltage and a current together with a displacement measurement to a force estimator.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.MAGTWIST: A compact magnetic rotary actuator, enabling smooth, stepless rotation, and on‐demand locking. Inspired by peristalsis, a soft polymer belt generates a traveling‐wave, enabling 270° rotation when heated. Cooling stiffens the belt, locking it in position and enabling it to withstand high loads.
