Microfluidic Valve‐Integrated Garment for Smooth Sequential Gradient Mechanotherapy

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
We present a soft wearable sleeve that delivers smooth, gap‐free compression using overlapping air‐filled actuators and tiny microfluidic valves. The system reduces bulk, lowers power needs, and uses a smartphone‐sized control box. It can provide sequential gradient compression, gradient pressure holding, and fast deflation, supporting more portable ...

Pre‐Curved Everting Robots With Embedded Steering Intelligence Fabricated by CO2 Laser Welding

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Design and experimental demonstration of a laser welded growing robot for anatomically guided navigation. The robot follows an aortic arch phantom entering the branchiocephalic branch through steering by design. The figure shows the physical phantom setup, CAD defined weld geometry and full robot eversion.

Design‐for‐Benchmarking in Soft Robotics: Navigating Component‐System Dichotomy

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Soft robotics faces a profound evaluation challenge: the Component‐System Dichotomy, where isolated component tests fail to predict integrated performance. This article presents a systematic survey of critical reporting gaps across actuation, sensing, and control.

Cteno‐Bot: An Untethered Metachronally Swimming Robot With Magnetoactive Propulsors

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
We present Cteno‐bot, an untethered ctenophore‐inspired robot which swims using metachronally coordinated appendages. A single mechanism controls up to 216 magnetoactive propulsors via a dynamically varying magnetic field. We show that the swimming speed of the robot can be increased without a corresponding increase in power requirement, simply by ...

A Self‐Driving Lab for Solution‐Processed Electrochromic Thin Films

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A self‐driving laboratory accelerates the development of solution‐processed electrochromic thin films. By coupling machine learning with robotic fabrication and characterization, this closed‐loop platform systematically navigates complex processing parameters.
