Lightweight and High‐Performance Ankle Braces Enabled by 3D Printed Metamaterial Liquid Crystal Polymer

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A flexible, lightweight ankle brace made from 3D‐printed liquid crystal polymer metamaterials offers targeted support without restricting movement. Programmable stiffness provides protection during risky motions. Biomechanical tests suggest performance comparable to commercial braces with reduced bulk, highlighting potential for broader orthotic ...

Integration of Soft‐Robotics and Deep Learning to Assess the Coordinated Biosonar Emission and Reception Dynamics in Hipposiderid Bats

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Combining a biomimetic soft‐robot with deep‐learning data analytics sheds light on a unique peripheral dynamics seen in the biosonar system of bats: Bats modulate their ultrasonic biosonar signals upon emission as well as reception with variable, yet highly coordinated motion patterns of their noseleaves and pinnae.
