Influence of processing parameters on the tool and workpiece mechanical interaction during Friction Stir Welding [PDF]
During Friction Stir Welding process, FSW, a tool / workpiece mechanical interaction is generated leading to forces and torques applied on the tool. These forces and torques are transmitted to the welding equipment impacting its technical requirements ...

The role of skin mechanics in contact force variation under different friction conditions
When grasping objects, humans actively adjust grip force in response to surface slipperiness and motion. Previous studies have showed that corrective actions occur after tactile afferents signal surface friction or slip events.

Degradable Magnetic Composites from Recycled NdFeB Magnets for Soft Actuation and Sensing
This work presents a degradable soft magnetic composite made from recycled NdFeB particles embedded in a gelatin‐based organogel. The material is processed into magnetic sensors and soft robotic components, which can later be dissolved in a green solvent to recover NdFeB magnetic particles.

Echinoderm‐Inspired Autonomy for Soft‐Legged Robots
Inspired by echinoderms, a modular soft robot achieves autonomous phototaxis without a central controller or explicit communication. Each limb independently adapts its actuation timing through local sensing and short‐term memory. Coordination emerges purely from physical interactions, demonstrating resilience to changes in morphology, environment, and ...
