Electrostatic Actuation Induces Competing Adhesion and Vibration Regimes at Fingertip Contact

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Electric fields modulate fingertip–surface contact to create artificial touch sensations. The mechanisms underlying electrostatic friction, however, remain unclear. Direct imaging and friction measurements under oscillating electric fields showed that adhesion dominates at high frequencies, while vibration contributes substantially at the lower ...

Design Optimization of Soft Fabric Pneumatic Actuators

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study presents a systematic optimization framework for elongating and bending fabric‐based soft pneumatic actuators. After a preliminary design‐space reduction, the framework minimizes energy consumption under mechanical performance constraints by integrating validated finite element modeling with statistical surrogate models. Optimal designs were

Enhanced Monocular Depth Estimation Using ResNet Backbone and Multiscale Feature Decoding for Precise Object Distance Measurement

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A lightweight monocular perception framework generates high‐fidelity depth maps and integrates YOLOv8 detection to estimate object‐wise distances from a single RGB image. Evaluated on KITTI and the proposed D‐Far250 dataset, the system demonstrates accurate long‐range perception up to 250 m while maintaining real‐time performance, enabling scalable ...

Dielectric Elastomer Actuators as Safe and Effective Tools for Mechanostimulation of Human Cells

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Replicating physiological forces is crucial for realistic cell models. Dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) offer a soft alternative, though their high voltages raised toxicity concerns. We demonstrate that DEA stimulation causes no cell damage, cell death or cell‐cycle disruption, while activating mechanosensitive responses.
