Poly(vinylidene Fluoride)‐Based Ferroelectric Polymers for Electromechanical Transduction: A Systematic Review of Materials and Actuators

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)‐based ferroelectric materials exhibit high strains, energy densities and coupling efficiencies, appealing for diverse applications requiring smart material actuators. This work reviews electromechanical transduction in PVDF‐based polymers and their modifications, implementation in actuators, and functional devices ...

A Standardized Framework for Elastomer Characterization in Soft Robotics

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A unified framework addresses inconsistent elastomer property reporting which limits reproducibility and standardization in soft robotics. Systematic testing of ten elastomers (thermosetting, thermoplastic, and a covalent adaptable network) provides quasielastic mechanical properties, viscoelastic parameters, thermal stability, and processing ...

Design Challenges to Expand the Functionality of Drones: Deformable Rotorcraft and Nature‐Inspired Flapping Drones

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This review systematically analyzes deformable drones, including extendable, foldable, and tilting configurations, along with nature‐inspired flapping rotorcraft. By classifying deformation principles and structural mechanisms, design trade‐offs, functional capabilities, and future development potential are highlighted.

A Novel Milli‐Scale Magnetic Robot Exploiting Rotation for Controlled Magnetic Particles Release

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Delivering magnetic particles can become a game changer in minimally invasive medicine. To cope with this challenge, a magnetically actuated milli‐scale carrier leveraging rotation to perform on‐demand tunable release of magnetic particles across multiple release events is presented.

Tendon‐Driven Compliant Wheel‐Less Snake Robot for Undulatory Locomotion Using Conformable Ground Contacts

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study presents a tendon‐driven compliant snake robot that uses globally applied vertical bending and axial twisting along its body to enable various gaits. Body deflection from compliance and weight passively generates the ground contact patterns required for locomotion.
