Cteno‐Bot: An Untethered Metachronally Swimming Robot With Magnetoactive Propulsors
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.We present Cteno‐bot, an untethered ctenophore‐inspired robot which swims using metachronally coordinated appendages. A single mechanism controls up to 216 magnetoactive propulsors via a dynamically varying magnetic field. We show that the swimming speed of the robot can be increased without a corresponding increase in power requirement, simply by ...

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.A multimodal quad‐finger soft robotic hand (QDO hand) uses dual‐chamber straight–curved origami prismatic (SCOP) origami actuators. By coordinating positive and negative pressurization in the two chambers, each finger produces axial extension, contraction and bidirectional bending.

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.A unified, reusable modeling pipeline enables task‐driven design of soft robots across actuator families and task scenarios. High‐fidelity simulations are compressed into compact pseudo‐rigid‐body joint surrogates, while a design‐conditioned meta‐model generates new surrogates from geometry parameters without rerunning finite element method.

One‐Shot Multimaterial 3D Printing of a Flexible Spine for a Robotic Fish Prototype
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.A one‐shot multimaterial 3D printing approach enables a monolithic soft robotic fish integrating a compliant spine and rigid vertebrae. Electromagnetic linear actuators drive tendon‐based transmission, producing controlled tail oscillations. Finite element modeling and experiments show strong agreement, while optimized material selection improves ...
