A Multimode Soft Robot Based on a Single Braided Tube
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This study introduces a novel soft multimode robot based on a single braided tube directly formed and actuated by SMA wires with distinct initial configurations. By combining contraction, elongation, and bending deformations, the robot achieves straight crawling, turning, inchworm crawling, and rolling without additional actuators.

Contact Force Estimation of Continuum Robots without Embedded Sensors: A Review
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This review surveys methods for estimating contact forces in continuum robots without embedded sensors. It explains why contact force matters, classifies force patterns, and groups existing methods into three approaches based on actuation, deformation, and environment information.
