Waveguide Photoactuators: Materials, Fabrication, and Applications

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Waveguide photoactuators convert guided light into mechanical motion. Their tethered‐flexible design enables minimally invasive surgery and confined‐space robotics. This review aims to guide materials selection, device design, and system integration, accelerating the transition of waveguide photoactuators from laboratory prototypes to versatile ...

A Multidirectional Textile Interface for Remote Control Using Dynamic Area‐Based Capacitance Modulation

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Here, we present a textile, wearable capacitive interface enabling multidirectional remote control by dynamically modulating electrode overlap and spacing via a freely gliding upper electrode. A forearm‐mounted prototype drives robotic and media tasks with 12–15 ms latency, maintains < 0.8% drift after 500 cycles, and remains stably functional at 90 ...

A Soft Robotic Fish With a Dielectric Elastomer Actuator Body and Negative Stiffness Spine

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work introduces a bio‐mimetic soft robotic fish driven by fiber‐reinforced dielectric elastomer actuators integrated as its body. By prestretching this active skin against a flexible spine, a negative stiffness system is created, enabling large‐amplitude bending.

Bi addition increases strength and strain-softening behavior in SAC305

Materials Research Letters
The effects of adding 1–3 wt.% Bi on the mechanical properties of Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu lead-free solder at two different effective plastic strains were examined using constant strain rate nanoindentation.

3D‐Printing Aided Rapid Prototyping of Pretensioned Tensegrity Structures for Robotic Applications

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Printing, injection molding, and assembly (PMA) is a method for rapid prototyping mesoscale, topologically complex, and tensioned tensegrity structures. In combination with PMA method, two mold design strategies: modular mold and compact channel layout, enable efficiency and scalability for tensegrity fabrication.

Enhancing the strength, ductility and strain hardening of B2-strengthened refractory multi-principal-element alloys by suppressing dislocation glide channels

Materials Research Letters
Refractory multi-principal-element alloys (RMPEAs) typically exhibit low strain hardening capacity and may even experience strain softening, which poses a risk to the structural integrity of materials.

Thermodynamics of Concomitant Charge‐Transfer, Antiferromagnetic, and Isostructural Phase Transitions in Barocaloric ACu3Fe4O12 Quadruple Perovskites

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A copper‐iron charge transfer instability drives concomitant electronic, magnetic, and isostructural phase transitions in ACu3Fe4O12${\rm ACu}_3{\rm Fe}_4{\rm O}_{12}$, with an inverse barocaloric effect. A minimal Landau theory ties these thermodynamic signatures together, revealing a pressure‐independent transition entropy with comparable charge and ...

Microscale Mapping of Fiber Strain and Damage in Composite Wrinkled Laminates Using Computed Tomography Assisted Wide‐Angle X‐Ray Scattering

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study combines full‐field tomography with diffraction mapping to quantify radial (ε002$\varepsilon _{002}$) and axial (ε100$\varepsilon _{100}$) lattice strain in wrinkled carbon‐fiber specimens for the first time. Radial microstrain gradients (−14.5 µεMPa$\varepsilon \mathrm{MPa}$−1) are found to signal damage‐prone zones ahead of failure, which ...
