A Two‐Stage Characterization Pipeline and Open‐Source Framework for Reproducible Tactile Sensing

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
The same soft tactile sensor returns different numbers when embodied in different robots. This is an Embodiment Gap that no shared framework currently captures transparently. A two‐stage characterization pipeline, paired with a FAIR open‐source digital datasheet, decouples intrinsic sensor behavior from embodiment effects and condenses cross‐laboratory

Design Optimization of Soft Fabric Pneumatic Actuators

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study presents a systematic optimization framework for elongating and bending fabric‐based soft pneumatic actuators. After a preliminary design‐space reduction, the framework minimizes energy consumption under mechanical performance constraints by integrating validated finite element modeling with statistical surrogate models. Optimal designs were

Bronchoscopy Robot with Enhanced Flexibility and Stability via Multi‐Segment Variable Stiffness Catheter

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This work presents a magnetic bronchoscopy robot with a novel multi‐segment variable stiffness catheter. This catheter can not only move flexibly in the narrow bronchi but also harden according to the need to provide support. Combined with remote wireless magnetic field drive, it provides a more precise and effective solution for biopsy of deep lung ...

Dielectric Elastomer Actuators as Safe and Effective Tools for Mechanostimulation of Human Cells

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Replicating physiological forces is crucial for realistic cell models. Dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) offer a soft alternative, though their high voltages raised toxicity concerns. We demonstrate that DEA stimulation causes no cell damage, cell death or cell‐cycle disruption, while activating mechanosensitive responses.

Co‐Design of Stretchable Fabric Sensors and Tiny Machine Learning for Human Interface Device‐Based Edge‐Intelligent Wearable Gloves

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A flexible smart glove integrated with textile sensors enables real‐time hand gesture recognition for human–machine interaction. Using edge AI inference and Bluetooth communication, the system translates finger movements into human interface device commands to control endpoint devices efficiently.
