This work proposes the use of multimaterial microrobots for pH sensing. The microrobots consist of a hard polymer backbone and 4D printed sensing elements made of a pH‐responsive hydrogel. The swelling response, reusability, and high mobility of the microrobots make them promising tools for pH sensing at the micro scale.

Programmable Microscale Actuation of Hydrogels With Tunable Response via Printing on Particles
We fabricate microscale hydrogels with precisely tunable phase transition temperatures (23–60 °C) by particle‐templated two‐photon polymerization using chemically tailored inks. Multi‐material printing enables stepwise thermal actuation through sequential volume changes at distinct VPTTs, while pH‐dependent hysteresis drives anisotropic actuation with ...

From Single to Multi‐Glass/Ceramic Microarchitectures via Two‐Photon Lithography
Two‐photon lithography enables precise oxide microarchitectures. A transition is made from single to multi‐glass/ceramic materials by integrating spatially varied compositions via fluidic photoresin exchange. Low‐temperature annealing and optical characterization (i.e., cathodoluminescence, fluorescence microscopy) reveal how post‐treatment affects the

A soft robotic simulator is developed to replicate the digital removal of feces (DRF), a sensitive yet essential nursing procedure. Integrating soft actuators, sensors, and a realistic rectal model, the simulator balances functional fidelity with perceptual realism. Engineering evaluations and nurse feedback confirm its potential to enhance training in

Remote Control of Hand Actuators via Glove Sensors for Medical Care Applications
This study presents a novel textile‐based sensory glove–actuator system for remote medical care, explored through finite element simulations. By integrating capacitive sensors, pneumatic actuators, and machine learning, the system models real‐time hand movement control.
