Jointless Tongue‐Like Bioactuator for Multidirectional Motion Through Directional Electrical Stimulation

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A tongue‐like bioactuator is developed using orthogonally aligned cultured skeletal muscle tissues. By applying directional electrical stimulation of varying strengths, the actuator achieves jointless, multidirectional movements. The device features a fully soft, skeleton‐free design, enabling biomimetic deformation and functional actuation, and offers

Maneuverable Multilegged Locomotion through Anisotropically Arranged Soft Backbones in a Single‐Actuator Modular Miniature Robot

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A modular eight‐legged robot exploits anisotropically oriented soft I‐beam backbones to transmit vibration from a single unbalanced‐mass actuator, producing frequency‐dependent multimodal gaits. A pseudo‐rigid‐body model enables high‐fidelity MuJoCo simulation, while Bayesian parameter identification and reinforcement learning yield robust control ...

Structured Plant‐Based Oil as Healthier Alternatives to Conventional Fats in Chocolate Cream Fillings

open access: yesJournal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigated the use of oleogel systems as fat replacements in chocolate cream fillings. Oleogels were prepared with 4, 6, 8, or 10% of sunflower wax (SW) or glycerol monostearate (GM) in corn oil (CO) or sesame oil (SO). Four representative oleogels, SOSW4, SOSW6, SOGM6, and COGM6, were selected for application in chocolate cream ...
