Biomimetic Design and Optimization of a Rolling-Gear Knee Exoskeleton for High Kinematic Fidelity and Efficiency

open access: yesMachines
Biomimetic knee exoskeletons often struggle to balance accurate replication of joint biomechanics with efficient torque transmission. This study presents a knee exoskeleton featuring a single-stage planetary gear set with three coupled interface gears to

Digital Actuation Control of Soft Robotic Origami With Self‐Folding Liquid Crystal Elastomer Hinges

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Self‐folding soft‐rigid hybrid robotic origami is enabled by liquid crystal elastomer actuators with embedded Joule heating and closed‐loop digital control. Digitally addressable hinges provide reversible and programmable transitions between distinct folded states while maintaining actuation performance at high cycle counts (over 1500).
