Advances in Electroactive Liquid Crystal Elastomers for Intelligent Robotics and Electronics
Electroactive liquid crystal elastomers (eLCEs) integrate molecular anisotropy with electrical functionality to enable programmable actuation and reconfigurable electronics. This review classifies eLCEs into robotic actuators and adaptive electronics, summarizes key actuation mechanisms, and highlights fabrication strategies that bridge materials to ...

A Soft Robotic Model for Simulating Heart Valve Disease and Cardiac Interventions
This paper introduces a fully synthetic fabrication methodology for a soft robotic, in‐vitro model of the left‐heart, complete with a functioning mitral valve apparatus. With a view towards patient‐specific modeling, we demonstrate physiological flow and pressure waveforms, tunable mitral valve function with clinical imaging compatibility, and its use ...

Knitted Pneumatic Fabrics for Dynamic Pressure Modulation in Personalized Healthcare Wearables
A pneumatic pressure‐regulating knitted fabric (PPKF) is developed, in which knitted pneumatic circuit enables the seamless integration of ultralow radial expansion pneumatic fiber into dual‐channel textile structure. By strategically modulating channel spacing, delivering adjustable dynamic pressures and clinically relevant gradient compression ratios.

Hierarchical Artificial Muscle with Nonlinear Elasticity for Antagonistic and Cyclic Robotics
We construct hierarchical muscles by plying nylon fibers around a heating wire. The hierarchical muscle shows a J‐shaped passive curve, which shows benefit in antagonistic muscle pair and work accumulation mechanism. We also develop a computational, first‐principle model to understand the physics of both active actuation stroke and passive J‐curve ...
