Switchable Adhesion of Soft Composites Induced by a Magnetic Field
, 2020 Switchable adhesives have the potential to improve the manufacturing and recycling of parts and to enable new modes of motility for soft robots. Here, we demonstrate magnetically-switchable adhesion of a two-phase composite to non-magnetic objects.

Encapsulation of FBG sensor into the PDMS and its effect on spectral and temperature characteristics [PDF]
, 2016 Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) is the most distributed type of fiber-optic sensors. FBGs are primarily sensitive to the effects of temperature and deformation. By employing different transformation techniques, it is possible to use FBG to monitor any physical

Additive Gaussian Process Regression for Predictive Design of High‐Performance, Printable Silicones
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.A chemistry‐aware design framework for tuning printable polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) for vat photopolymerization (VPP) is developed using additive Gaussian process (GP) modeling. Polymer network mechanics informs variable groupings, feasible formulation constraints, and interaction variables.

Self-Sensing Control for Soft-Material Actuators Based on Dielectric Elastomers [PDF]
, 2019 Due to their energy density and softness that are comparable to human muscles dielectric elastomer (DE) transducers are well-suited for soft-robotic applications. This kind of transducer combines actuator and sensor functionality within one transducer so
