Durability of Soft Pneumatic Actuators: A Review and Benchmarking Protocol

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Lack of durability is a key challenge hindering the broad scale adoption of soft pneumatic actuators (SPAs) in automation industries. This review provides a comprehensive overview of existing research on SPA durability, introduces a standardized durability benchmarking protocol to consolidate the testing of SPAs, and outlines promising directions for ...

Bio‐Inspired Gradient Heterogeneous Architectures for Ultrasensitive and Robust Strain Sensors via Programmable Crack Engineering

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by the insect campaniform sensillum, a heterogeneous bilayer strain sensor is developed based on a unique impedance mismatch and three‐dimensional structural dynamic percolation strategy. The sensor enables real‐time multi‐joint teleoperation of three joints and the gripper using a six‐degree‐of‐freedom robotic‐arm platform.

Comparison of the inherent variability in rebound hammer tests performed with different testing instruments

Epitoanyag - Journal of Silicate Based and Composite Materials, 2013
The rebound hammer test of concrete can provide an alternative to drilled core tests for estimating the in-situ compressive strength of concrete. The variability of concrete strength is recognised during the strength assessment and the design strength of concrete is specified as its characteristic compressive strength by taking the variability of the ...

CeO2‐Based Electrocatalysts for the Oxygen Evolution Reaction: Design, Dynamic Mechanisms, and Electrolyte Adaptability

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This Review shows how cerium oxide helps water‐splitting catalysts work better and last longer. It explains how CeO2 tunes electronic structure, oxygen‐vacancy behavior, and surface reconstruction, while adapting to alkaline, acidic, and seawater conditions.

Studies on the spatial variability of rebound hammer test results recorded at in-situ testing

Epitoanyag - Journal of Silicate Based and Composite Materials, 2013
Variability of the in-situ rebound hammer tests is composed of the inherent variability of the measuring method and the spatial variability of the concrete performance properties. In-situ, Schmidt rebound hammer tests were performed at the bottom surface of a concrete slab, with dimensions of 25.0 m × 7.5 m.
